            Bug ID: 200560
           Summary: lang/perl5: wrong dependencies pre-5.20 upgrade
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: philk@rotfl.com.au

On 20150513 the default Perl version changed from 5.18 to 5.20.

There is no security reason to upgrade to 5.20, so many people, including
myself have not done it.

There is a current security vulnerability with php5, and when I try to use pkg
upgrade to install it, it says this...

# pkg upgrade php5
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.

The following 2 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
        perl5.18: 5.18.4_14

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
        php5: 5.4.40 -> 5.4.41


The problem is that Perl v5.18 is already installed, and pkg is going to try
and install it again as a side-by-side port.  It doesn't even offer to upgrade
Perl 5.18 to 5.20.

This is definitely wrong.
