Public bug reported:

Apparently someone thought it a good idea to push out a new update for
Perl to 5.18.1 from 5.14.2 on November 2 of this year just days after
13.10 was released to the world.

Unfortunately, because whomever did this didn't think the thing through
and get all dependent packages corrected and out into the repository,
there are numerous differing packages that are just plain flat broken at
this point in time.

libdbi-perl
libxml-libxml-perl
libpurple

Because of this, you can't install

MySQL
X2Go Server
Pidgin

Probably very many more application packages are hosed at this point in
time.  I've already reported part of this in two other reports, but this
is bad and they're all common so I'm merging them into this one.

** Affects: libdbi-perl (Ubuntu)
