Package: devscripts Version: 2.15.8 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Hi there. I've recently disabled installing recommended packages and this has had the side-effect of breaking the "bts" script. In the control file the liburi-perl package is mentioned as a recommends, but in reality it's a hard requirement: $ bts Can't locate URI.pm in @INC (you may need to install the URI module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/bts line 63.
