Package: libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl Version: 0.111-1 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: perl-5.40-transition Tags: fixed-upstream
This package fails to build from source with Perl 5.40 (currently in experimental.) # Failed test 'got one warning about ambiguity of options' # at t/descriptive.t line 465. # warning: Getopt::Long::Descriptive was configured with these ambiguous options: f # warning: Duplicate specification "faith|f" for option "f" # Looks like you failed 1 test of 60. This is fixed upstream in 0.112, but requires a newer Getopt::Long that causes the test failure in the first place. Seems like an unfortunate coupling of the two, particularly as Getopt::Long is bundled with Perl itself. Not sure what to do about this. Packaging Getopt::Long separately just for this feels overkill. Just bear with it and upload the newer version in lockstep with the Perl 5.40 transition? We might want a Breaks entry for the older version on the Perl side in that case. OTOH it's just test-only breakage AFAICS so I guess we could just patch the failing test out temporarily to lift the lockstep migration requirement...
