Package: libwww-myspace-perl
Version: 0.80-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

A new upstream version 0.82 adapts to some substantial changes at Myspace which left version 0.80 of this module mostly unusable.

I believe a number of dependencies listed for this module are no longer (or perhaps never were) required. I've attached a patch which changes the package's dependencies as follows:

  Added version numbers to the following dependencies:
    * libtime-modules-perl (>= 100.010301)
    * libwww-mechanize-perl (>= 1.20)

  Removed the following as dependencies and build dependencies:
    * libclass-dbi-loader-perl
    * libclass-dbi-abstractsearch-perl
    * libdatetime-perl
    * libdatetime-format-mysql-perl
    * libdatetime-format-builder-perl
    * libio-prompt-perl
    * liblist-compare-perl
    * libmath-round-perl
    * libterm-readkey-perl
    * libversion-perl

Added the following as a new dependency and build dependency (this is required as of version 0.82):
   * liburi-perl

Also, version 0.81 fixed the 'can't break line' warning in the module's man page. Therefore the entry in lintian-overrides for this purpose should no longer be necessary. I've attached a patch for this also.

Regards,
