HI!
I'd like to completely get rid of perl on my systems. Hence my question: Is package perl-Bootloader still needed on raspberry pi systems for kernel updates or similar?
I'm not sure you'll be able to rip perl out of the system completely, even if you uninstall perl-Bootloader. Last time I tried I faced a good number of dependencies. But you can give it a try. It's a no-op for u-boot images as we have them today. The kernel tries to call it in %post - I'm not sure what happens when it gets a command not found error :). I'm currently working on moving us to EFI based images with u-boot. Once that hits the tree, you would want to have perl-Bootloader (or at least some code calling grub2-mkconfig) to make sure the grub.cfg is properly updated.
