Package: libio-dirent-perl Version: 0.04-1 Severity: important User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: perl-5.10-transition
This package fails to build with Perl 5.10.0 (currently in experimental) because of a bug in debian/rules that has been uncovered by a change in ExtUtils::Install. Until Perl 5.10.0, ExtUtils::Install had a bug that created an empty /usr/lib/perl5 or /usr/share/perl5 directory when 'make install' was run. This package fails to build because it relies on the presence of this empty directory, usually by trying to remove it without checking if it exists first. The suggested fix for the usual 'unconditional rmdir' case is to use a conditional like [ ! -d $(TMP)/usr/share/perl5 ] || rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty --parents --verbose $(TMP)/usr/share/perl5 See the current dh-make-perl templates. Please treat this bug as 'grave' already: Perl 5.10.0 was scheduled for unstable about a week ago, and it will render this package uninstallable and unbuildable when it actually enters sid. Details about the ExtUtils::Install change can be found in #465783. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
