munin and munin-common both have
perl-modules | libparse-recdescent-perl
in Depends.
This is both problematic and confusing to me.
The problematic part is that packages shouldn't depend on
perl-modules but on perl [0], the split is internal to src:perl,
and in perl 5.22 there is no perl-modules package anymore.
The confusing part is that I don't understand what this dependency is
supposed to achieve; I read it as "we need Parse::RecDescent, either
from perl core or the separate package", but
- - Parse::RecDescent is not in perl-modules or anywhere else in perl
core (and never was [1])
- - Parse::RecDescent doesn't seem to be used anywhere in the code
So probably this line can just be removed, unless there's a different
story behind it which I miss, in which case it should be fixed for
perl 5.22.
Cheers,
gregor

Parse::RecDescent was not in CORE (or so I think)
