Guys,

	My attempt at upgrade failed this evening due to the following perl dependency:

Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade? [y/N]
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

  there is nothing to do


	This doesn't make since as there are no perl>=5.12.1 in any of the active 
repositories. If system-tools-backends us in 'community' then should its 
dependencies also be available?
