Control: severity -1 serious

Hi,

starting with forky /var/lib/dpkg/available will no longer be available on the buildd chroots, so making this RC. The easiest fix would be to disable the affected test. Please reach out if you need help with that.

Cheers Jochen

Hi,

dh-make-perl currently fails to reproduce on reproduce.d.n:

https://reproduce.debian.net/all/#dh-make-perl

This is due to two things:

1. The package assumes that a /var/lib/dpkg/available file exists. This
is not guaranteed. For example mmdebstrap does not create it. You can
test that by using sbuild from trixie or bookworm-backports with:

sbuild --chroot-mode=unshare --dist=unstable --no-run-lintian dh-make-perl

2. The package uses /usr/lib/apt/apt-helper from the apt package in
lib/Debian/AptContents.pm. Note that apt is not essential so the package
has a missing build dependency on apt (and probably also a missing
dependency).

Cheers Jochen
