[tech] [wheel] Unisfa's library system down

[Andrew Adamson]

Hi Jono,

I've already been looking in to this over the past week, Koha is broken 
because the installed version of Koha is something like 17 versions behind 
the current version, and is incompatible with the current version of Perl  
(which is what is throwing the errors you see on the webpage).

The solution is to upgrade Koha - probably using debian packages rather 
than the self-built package setup that we currently have. I'm rather tight 
for time at the moment, so I almost certainly won't have time to do it 
myself, and definitely not for a couple of weeks if I do. Is anyone else 
keen?
