[users] perl-Net-Packet package broken?

[Henning Markussen]

Hi

In a process to install http://dns.measurement-factory.com/tools/dnsdump/

There is a req. for
     * Net::Pcap
     * Net::Packet
     * Net::DNS


So I tried to install them via yum, but it breaks

With yum I just get this output

[root at mail tmp]# yum install perl-Net-Packet

I know that apt can be better in resolving dependency's so I also that, 
but I also get a error with apt:

[root at mail tmp]# apt-get install perl-Net-Packet
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   perl-Net-Packet: Depends: perl(v5.6.1) but it is not installable
                    Depends: perl(Net::Write::Layer2) but it is not 
installable
                    Depends: perl(Net::Write::Layer4) but it is not 
installable
                    Depends: perl(Net::IPv6Addr) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


Any ideas to if the error is in the package or on my system?
