Source: collectd
Version: 5.1.0-3
Severity: important
User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.18-transition

This package FTBFS with perl 5.18 from experimental (in a clean sbuild
session):

 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 collectd.1 ./collectdctl.1 collectdmon.1 collectd-na
gios.1 '/build/dom-collectd_5.1.0-3+b1-i386-VXTIuR/collectd-5.1.0/debian/tmp/usr
/share/man/man1'
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `./collectdctl.1': No such file or directory

The reason is that pod2man, rather than putting error mesages in the
generated manpage, now aborts with an error message. Unfortunately,
the build system of collectd ignores this error:

pod2man --release=5.1.0 --center=collectd collectdctl.pod \
                >.pod2man.tmp.$$ 2>/dev/null && mv -f .pod2man.tmp.$$ 
collectdctl.1 || true

This is the subject of a separate bug report, #708717.

Running pod2man manually gives:

$ pod2man --release=5.1.0 --center=collectd collectdctl.pod > /dev/null
collectdctl.pod around line 157: Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in 
'H�kon'. Assuming ISO8859-1
POD document had syntax errors at 
/home/dom/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.17.10/bin/pod2man line 71.

There are several of these to be fixed - at least collectd.conf.5 and
collectd-java.5.
