Subject: libversion-perl: Doesn't contain version.pm, what breaks svk

Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 19:49:51 +0200

Package: libversion-perl
Version: 1:0.7400-3
Severity: grave

The package no longer contains /usr/lib/perl5/version.pm file, what
makes svk unusable:

Thanks for spotting this. Indeed the package doesn't contain a
/usr/lib/perl directory at all (in a locally built package).

There are two interesting points:
* You are using libversion-perl 1:0.7400-3 from unstable but perl
  5.8.8. from testing. Upgrading to perl 5.10 should fix your
  original problem, because version.pm is included there in perl-modules.
  (And libversion-perl is already scheduled for removal, cf. #480458)
* I tried to fix the problem anyway but libversion-perl doesn't build
  in my sid cowbuilder chroot (well, a rather empty package is indeed
  created). The error is:

cc -I/usr/lib/perl/5.10/CORE -fPIC -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -g -o /tmp/compilet.o /tmp/compilet.c
cc -shared -O2 -g -L/usr/local/lib -o /tmp/compilet.so /tmp/compilet.o
 - ERROR: perl (5.10.0) is installed, but we need version < 5.009

(The buildds show the same error:
http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=libversion-perl)

At the moment I'm not sure if we can do anything ...

Cheers,
gregor

Oh, I'm using sid, but I haven't upgraded perl yet because of #479763.

How about making libversion-perl a transitional package depending on
perl-modules >= 5.10?

Right, libversion-perl doesn't have the 5.10.0 dependency because it's
empty so ${perl:Depends} is unset.

Yes, we need something like this until we can remove libversion-perl
altogether (#480458).

I'd prefer doing this from the libversion-perl source package instead of
perl itself, particularly because it's (hopefully) temporary. 

The quick and dirty solution would be to just hardcode 'perl-modules
(>= 5.10)' in the dependencies for now.

A cleaner one would do the right thing and generate a proper package
when built on 5.8 too, but that's not probably worth the effort.

reassign 480917 svk
thanks

libversion-perl has been removed from both testing and unstable, this
issue can be solved by making svk depend on 'perl >> 5.10 | libversion-perl'

Yes, currently svk is not buildable/usable with Perl 5.10 (#479698),
but solving that bug will also solve this one. (Maybe this bug should
be tagged as blocked by it?)
