Hello Anders,

you're right, the problem is with gperf-ace. In package version
5.4.2.1.0-2, gperf-ace is a dangling symlink instead of a real
executable. If you happen to have installed gperf, then gperf-ace points
to it, therefore gperf -V fails.

Thank you for investigating this, and thanks to Peter for reporting.
I'm working on a fix.

Thomas
