      This is from the siduction team. Follow their advice.

      Keep calm and don’t hit until the very most of the transition is done. The perl transitions are normally hard and fast – and this time a transition really can wreck a system and make it unusable. So please be patient.

      antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

        Thank you for the warning.
        According to https://www.debian.org/Bugs/ the perl transition is almost complete now (98%).
        On my system I now have upgraded perl – no removals anymore.

        There still are two problems with perl 5.28:
        1) error #912684 concerning libextutils-parsexs-perl (which I do not use).
        2) apt-show-versions should be purged, because it is said to break apt:

          2. is now fixed.

          sid users should be ok to dist-upgrade now, but be aware that there are many changes taking place including many apps needing systemd.
          So you might see libsystemd0 as a dependency. Either go ahead and live with libsystemd0 for a while or wait until antiX packages and uploads nonsystemd versions eg samba, sane-utils, tor (these are recent)
