This was also mentioned on the Aptosid forums as well. It should take a few days for everything to be sorted out and packages affected by this transition to be rebuilt against the new Perl and uploaded.

grub-common is on hold here to keep it compatible with legacy. I need it for antiX development.

pidgin is not fixed, yet.

BTW - Is iceweasel still causing you issues?

yes it does. iceweasel 8.0 hangs on loading pages for very long periods of time,also i experience high cpu and ram usage, sometimes with the entire program freezing. same with iceweasel 9.0 beta. if there is no fix for it, i'm kind of screwed, because i hava a custon gui that i use and love.

You might try the fix the puppy forum uses dark-d. I haven't tried it yet as I am just keeping Iceape for now, and for fooling frigging websites like banks and google gmail I use user agent switcher in Iceape . Some sites though when using user agent switcher identified as internet explorer require activex to be running also (not a linux thing,@#$%^)

You might also need to update to Flashplayer 11.1 also.
