Package: ucf Version: 3.0043+nmu1 Severity: serious Justification: Undeclared dependency, breaks unrelated packages
Dear Maintainer, ucfq uses the perl module Getopt/Long/Parser.pm[1]. In perl 5-40 (which bundled Getopt-Long 2.57) this module has been split to a separate file [2]. Relying on the Essential perl-base being installed is now inadequate: apollo:/# dpkg -l|grep 'perl\|ucf' ii perl-base 5.40.0-6 amd64 minimal Perl system ii ucf 3.0043+nmu1 all Update Configuration File(s): preserve user changes to config files apollo:/# ucfq Can't locate Getopt/Long/Parser.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Getopt::Long::Parser module) (@INC entries checked: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64 -linux-gnu/perl/5.40.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.40.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.40 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_ 64-linux-gnu/perl/5.40 /usr/share/perl/5.40 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base/Getopt/Long.pm line 143. Either ucf needs to depend on perl or perl-base needs to include Getopt/Long/Parser.pm. Copying Niko for his opinion, I suppose other packages may be impacted by this change?
