I could reproduce the problem when upgrading dictionaries-common and perl
(to 5.10) in a chroot. However, things worked well if after the upgrade I
reconfigure dictionaries-common with the new perl fully configured. Looking
at the upgrade log, when dictionaries-common is configured, perl-base is
already configured (as expected), but neither perl nor perl-modules are.
Seems that something has been moved from perl-base to perl{,-modules} in a
strange way, affecting opendir. dictionaries-common itself depends
only on perl-base, so this is somewhat strange.
Anyway, I modified DictionariesCommon.pm to use filename globbing, and that
seems to work around whatever is the problem.
If I can isolate a good simple example for this, I will let perl maintainers
know about this.
