This bit is untested. After discussion on #debian-devel I found that 1) It is sane of upstream autotools to rely on $PATH of build environment 2) Packaging scripts (dpkg-*) and packaging helper tools (debhelper and cdbs) should preserve $PATH from build environment 3) Official Debian packages must use /usr/bin/perl So all in all, the proper fix, I believe, is to pass PERL=/usr/bin/perl to configure in debian/rules. I'll do that in next upload. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDc4Oyn7DbMsAkQLgRAuT5AJ0RYCKcNi7S9zLFOba7JADh6M9C6QCdGU5j xRQTIl7Mu+S23QiJsoGEF4U= =/GKs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
