Package: binfmt-support
Version: 1.2.9
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
when upgrading, I got the following error:
Richte binfmt-support ein (1.2.9) ...
syntax error at /usr/share/perl5/Binfmt/Format.pm line 138, near "'')"
Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/update-binfmts line 25.

failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript binfmt-support, action "start" failed.
I attached a patch that gets rid of the syntax error. After that I was
able to execute "/etc/init.d/binfmt-support start" without errors.
There still was a little warning, I don't know if it is harmful or not:
$ /etc/init.d/bimfmt-support start
