Nice finding, I also encountered this but didn't know here it comes from (and was too lazy to look). > CPAN modules where this happens are for example Path::IsDev or > File::ShareDir::ProjectDistDir. A workaround is to lower the > dependencies on M::B from 0.4007 to 0.4000 in the upstream metadata. Or just pass the package name: % dh-make-perl --cpan Path::IsDev --packagename libpath-isdev-perl [rest of your options in the config file] works fine: > This is the output I get for Path::IsDev: > [fs@thinkpad] dh-make-perl --pkg-perl --source-format "3.0 (quilt)" --dh 8 > --vcs git --closes 725137 --cpan Path::IsDev > Needs the following debian packages: perl (>= 5.10.1), > libmodule-runtime-perl, libpath-tiny-perl, libsub-exporter-perl, > libclass-tiny-perl (>= 0.010) > + Test::Fatal found in libtest-fatal-perl > = IO::Handle is in core since 5.3.70 > = Module::Build >= 0.4007 is in core since 5.19.3 > ! perl (>= 5.19.3) is too new. Adding alternative dependency > pkg is mandatory at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Control/FromCPAN.pm line 335. Needs the following debian packages: perl (>= 5.10.1), libclass-tiny-perl (>= 0.010), libpath-tiny-perl, libmodule-runtime-perl, libsub-exporter-perl = IPC::Open3 is in core since 5.0.0 = Test::More >= 0.98 is in core since 5.13.11 = Module::Build >= 0.4007 is in core since 5.19.3 ! perl (>= 5.19.3) is too new. Adding alternative dependency = IO::Handle is in core since 5.3.70 = FindBin is in core since 5.3.70 = File::Temp is in core since 5.6.1 + Test::Fatal found in libtest-fatal-perl = File::Spec is in core since 5.4.50 Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
