[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#788152: sympa: FTBFS with perl 5.22 due to perl-modules dep

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Source: sympa
Version: 6.1.23~dfsg-2
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.22-transition

This package contains a versioned build-depends:

perl-modules (>= 5.10) | libcgi-pm-perl (>= 3.35)

however the package description states that perl-modules should be
considered an internal implementation detail of perl and shoudn't be
depended upon.

With the perl 5.22 work in experimental, perl-modules is gone, and
this causes the FTBFS issue with sbuild. (It's still provided, but
this doesn't work with versioned depends.)

libcgi-pm-perl is being removed from perl/perl-modules in any
case, so the correct fix is to just build-depend on libcgi-pm-perl
(unversioned, given the age of 3.35)

This bug will become RC nearer the time of the perl 5.22 transition to
unstable.

Cheers,
Dominic.
