Package: liblocale-subcountry-perl Version: 1.56-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream patch Justification: (Team) Package maintainer's opinion - package unsuitable for release
$ perl -e 'use Locale::SubCountry 54' Locale::SubCountry does not define $Locale::SubCountry::VERSION--version check failed at -e line 1. Sometime after version 1.50, "our $VERSION = 1.xx" was moved to the top of the code, above any "package" declaration. It is therefore not declaring $Locale::SubCountry::VERSION, and previously-working version checks like "use Locale::SubCountry 1.42" now throw a fatal error. The patch below adds a "package Locale::SubCountry" to the beginning of the code. This seems like typical / best practice for modules, to avoid any symbol exports from the intial "use" statements from polluting the main:: namespace. --- SubCountry.pm.ORIG 2012-09-18 13:02:15.702774878 -0700 +++ SubCountry.pm 2012-09-18 13:30:04.351443803 -0700 @@ -314,6 +314,8 @@ #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +package Locale::SubCountry; + use strict; use warnings; use locale; -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages liblocale-subcountry-perl depends on: ii perl 5.14.2-13 liblocale-subcountry-perl recommends no packages. liblocale-subcountry-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Ivan Kohler President and Head Geek, Freeside Internet Services, Inc. http://freeside.biz/ Debian GNU/Linux developer | CPAN author | cat person | ski addict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
