perl(Archive::Zip) is needed by mailscanner-4.44.6-1

[Carl Boberg]

Hi people,
I think there are 2 different problemse here.
First, its people like me who never have had any dep. problems but now
with the 2 latest stable versions Ive run in to a dep. problem with
Archive::Zip (wich I know I have) wich I solved bu using the nodeps arg
for install.sh
Secondly, there seems to be a few people who has had dep. problems with
alot of different perl modules for a lot longer...

Is this 2 separate problems or one and the same?

Cheers
Carl
