I am trying to install the package
perl-Archive-Tar
but I get the error message:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


How would you deal with this?

Thank

Either downgrade your updates-testing perl to the updates one or see
if a matching perl-Archive-Tar is available in updates-testing.

So, it appears that the perl-Archive-Tar package that you're trying to
install requires a version of Perl earlier that you have installed.
Aside from going back on the Perl version (not a good idea) you can
either wait for the perl-Archive-Tar disto to be upgraded or (my
suggestion) use cpan to install Archive::Tar. If this fails, you'll
have the source around to change the required version of Perl. I doubt
that this would cause you problems.

Good luck
