[PATCH] INSTALL: fix Date::Parse dependency for Debian

[Eric Wong]

So yes, both "libdatetime-perl" and "libtimedate-perl" exist
in Debian.  We want the latter for the Date::Parse module.

(And the former pulls in THIRTY-SEVEN dependencies on a fresh
 sid chroot, ohg yrsgcnq vf abg bar bs gurz).

Btw, I think the RPM should be perl-TimeDate (current is 2.30),
there; too.  It's also p5-TimeDate on the FreeBSD I'm setting up.

I actually have both on the system I'm running.  Would have to dig in to
see which one (or possibly both) is really necessary.

Thanks,

Thanks for the response.  On my CentOS 7 chroot, I got Date/Parse.pm
from perl-TimeDate-2.30-2.el7.noarch

Btw, I also got IO/Compress/Gzip.pm from
perl-IO-Compress-2.061-2.el7.noarch;
(not perl-PerlIO-gzip, which seems to be for "IO Layers" and
 AFAIK not commonly used)

I've only managed to use rinse 3.4 successfully to get CentOS 7
going, but CentOS 7 seems to lack Xapian Perl bindings
(Search::Xapian module) :<

rinse seems to misconfigure yum on the postinstall for Fedora-28;
(or maybe Fedora 28 is too old?).
29 and 30 are both missing so I filed a bug about it:

No worries.  I'm way behind on most things, too :x
