Bug#589052: FTBFS: cross-dep with libtest-minimumversion-perl and libperl-minimumversion-perl

Hi Ansgar,

many thanks for working quickly on my bug reports.

How is it possible if none of an older version of these packages is
already installed?

I agree with that. I just used novice mode of reportbug tool and
selected the more
appropriate option without consideration about the used repository.
Sorry for that.

Build from source and installation of libfile-find-rule-perl-perl
package works.
Many thanks for that.

For libperl-minimumversion-perl it isn't enough.
I think I found others (indirect) build-deps on itself:

libperl-minimumversion-perl
  needs libppi-perl (>= 1.205)
libppi-perl
  needs libtest-subcalls-perl
libtest-subcalls-perl
  needs libtest-minimumversion-perl
libtest-minimumversion-perl
  needs libperl-minimumversion-perl

libperl-minimumversion-perl
  needs libtest-script-perl (>= 1.03)
libtest-script-perl
  needs libperl-minimumversion-perl
  and libtest-minimumversion-perl

Best regards,
Mounaam
