Package: perl Version: 5.28.1-6 Severity: normal Tags: buster fixed-upstream Forwarded: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/17197 Control: found -1 5.30.0-10
The upstream tool to submit bug reports, /usr/bin/perlbug, does not currently work as advertised since upstream has moved from rt.perl.org to github.com/Perl/perl5 . It send the report to the old bug submission address perl...@perl.org, which (I believe) nowadays gives an autoresponse suggesting to file a GitHub issue instead. Upstream has recently addressed this: 5.30.2 has https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/b9e2183386fadc0979b46e024365ceab56a369aa removing references to perlbug, and upcoming 5.31.11 will have https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/31fa749cfc50ff7f2bde2237bf6da5547efd53d4 which modifies the perlbug tool to save its output to a file and direct users to the GitHub issue tracker. The upstream issue at https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/17197 has the full discussion. While I expect this will be fixed in Debian bullseye by upgrading to 5.32, we should probably do something about stable too. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
