Package: dh-make-perl Version: 0.93 Severity: normal dh-make-perl creates this weird dependency line if there is a dependency on List::Util:
libperl5.24:amd64 (>= 1.45) | libscalar-list-utils-perl (>= 1.45) | perl-base (>= 1.45) I believe the dependency on perl >= 1.45 is actually a reference to libscalar-list-utils-perl. I have noticed this when packaging like: dh-make-perl --pkg-perl --cpan Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::PluginRemover which should be enough to replicate the issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dh-make-perl depends on: ii debhelper 10.2.3 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.18 ii fakeroot 1.21-3.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.30 ii libarray-unique-perl 0.08-2 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libconfig-ini-perl 1:0.025-1 ii libdebian-source-perl 0.92 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.18 ii libemail-address-perl 1.908-1 ii libemail-date-format-perl 1.005-1 ii libfile-which-perl 1.21-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b1 ii libmodule-depends-perl 0.16-3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libsoftware-license-perl 0.103012-1 ii libtie-ixhash-perl 1.23-2 ii libwww-mechanize-perl 1.83-1 ii libwww-perl 6.15-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.63-2 ii libyaml-perl 1.21-1 ii make 4.1-9 ii perl 5.24.1-1 ii perl-modules-5.22 [libcpan-meta-perl] 5.22.2-1 ii perl-modules-5.24 [libcpan-meta-perl] 5.24.1-1 Versions of packages dh-make-perl recommends: ii apt 1.4~beta4 ii apt-file 3.1.4 ii git 1:2.11.0-2 ii libdpkg-parse-perl 0.03-1 ii libmodule-build-perl 0.422000-1 ii pristine-tar 1.37 dh-make-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
