[kgb-maintainers] Bug#834597: kgb-bot: FTBFS in testing

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:kgb-bot
Version: 1.33-2
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh build-indep
   dh_testdir -i
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_auto_configure -i
	perl Build.PL --installdirs vendor
Base class package "Module::Build" is empty.
    (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first,
    or make that module available in @INC (@INC contains: privinc /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22 /usr/share/perl/5.22 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base .).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess nobody tried to build this package in a long time, maybe
because it's "Arch: all", or maybe because it's blacklisted in the
reproducible builds setup:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/kgb-bot.html

because of Bug #782079.

If you manage to make it build again, I would strongly recommend that
you upload it in source-only form, so that we get pretty official
build logs here:

Thanks.
