Source: git Version: 2.1.3-1 Severity: important Justification: Fails to build from source but built in the past.
Current git in unstable FTBFS with a failure in the test t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh. First noticed on alpha at debian-ports, see: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/package.php?p=git While debugging on Alpha got suspicious that this is a more general failure, so ran a test build in a clean sid chroot on amd64 and discovered it fails on amd64 for the same reason. The test t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh script runs gitweb_run in ./t/gitweb-lib.sh, and that calls perl to run gitweb_run perl script and then checks the generated t/trash.../gitweb.log for any lines starting with '[' and fails if so. Currently invoking gitweb_run results in the following message to stdout: [Sat Nov 22 09:40:09 2014] gitweb.perl: CGI::param called in list context from package main line 874, this can lead to vulnerabilities. See the warning in "Fetching the value or values of a single named parameter" at /usr/share/perl5/CGI.pm line 436. which is sufficient to cause the test suite to fail.
