[Pkg-catalyst-maintainers] Bug#354489: libcatalyst-perl: FTBFS: Missing Build-Depends on 'libfile-slurp-perl'

[Andreas Jochens]

Package: libcatalyst-perl
Version: 5.65-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

When building 'libcatalyst-perl' in a clean 'unstable' chroot,
I get the following error:

/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor
*** Module::AutoInstall version 1.01
*** Checking for dependencies...
[Core Features]
- UNIVERSAL::require                ...loaded. (0.10 >= 0.10)
- Class::Accessor::Fast             ...loaded. (0.22)
- Class::Data::Inheritable          ...loaded. (0.04)
- Class::Inspector                  ...loaded. (1.13)
[...]
- YAML                              ...loaded. (0.57 >= 0.55)
- File::Slurp                       ...missing.

Please add the missing Build-Depends on 'libfile-slurp-perl'
to debian/control to fix this.

Also, the build does not stop at this error - instead it tries 
to download the missing files from CPAN automatically:

==> Auto-install the 1 mandatory module(s) from CPAN? [y] y

I do not think that is behaviour is correct. Building a package
should not cause an automatic download of files from the internet.

Please switch this auto-download/auto-installation off.

Andreas Jochens
