Bug#613633: libnews-scan-perl: Invalid package name under the Depends field in it's control file

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Package: libnews-scan-perl
Version: 0.53-3
Severity: normal


The Depends field has an invalid package name that upon updating via apt-get causes the processing of available packages to fail.

Depends: perl, libmailtools-perl, iibtimedate-perl

It should be ibtimedate-perl.

Workaround before the fix happens is for the individual to edit the /var/lib/dpkg/available file and fix that spelling error.
