Package: ferm
Version: 2.0.2-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Upgrade halts with message:
Reloading Firewall configuration......Died at /usr/sbin/ferm line 1493.
failed!
At which point the firewall scripts from 1.3.4 have failed to load and
the system may be left in a state only accesible via terminal controls
or in the case of gateways and routers, security defaults may render the
entire dependant network offine.
Reverting the /usr/sbin/ferm script to a clean 1.3.4 resolves the system
to usable again.
This appears to be related to 1.3.x using included sub-files and
different handling in the OO perl 2.0.x.
The failing config in question includes subfiles explicitly by name
without wildcards.
