Source: perl Version: 5.32.1-2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-rele...@lists.debian.org User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ftcbfs
perl currently fails to cross build from source, due to a minor version bump. Whenever the version is updated, the cross compilation configs need to be updated and this didn't happen for perl. Such temporary ftcbfs are usual for perl. What makes this worthy of reporting is that this version will end up in bullseye. There are a number of embedded distributions now that are based on Debian and due to perl's central role to Debian it should be cross buildable in stable. The risk of breaking anything by fixing this bug is quite low as these cross configs are used for nothing but cross building perl and updating them is a routine task to Niko. I've Cced d-release in case they want to object now before Niko files an unblock request. Helmut
