Package: perl Version: 5.10.1-4 Severity: serious As revealed by the piuparts test at
http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/libperl5.10_5.10.1-4.log DynaLoader from perl-base no longer works without perl installed: Can't locate Config_heavy.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/Config.pm line 69. This was caused by upstream change http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/9e6e929b49155a4e040be3c98aa578e5de1ec66d which makes $dl_dlext and $dl_so get expanded at runtime rather than buildtime. These need Config_heavy.pl which is in the perl package. The relevant discussion starts at http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/12/msg131528.html Quoting Jan Dubious there: > However, I think that interpolating $dl_dlext and $dl_so at buildtime > was a mistake; we should have retained the module variables and > interpolated them at runtime. I'll hardcode the values for now as a quick fix, but I don't think this deviation from upstream is a good thing in the long run. Brendan, can you recall any specific reason (other than 'not needed') why Config_heavy.pl is not in perl-base? --- /usr/lib/perl/5.10.1/DynaLoader.pm 2009-09-29 19:57:59.000000000 +0000 +++ /tmp/DynaLoader 2009-10-01 07:03:09.000000000 +0000 @@ -39,7 +39,8 @@ sub dl_load_flags { 0x00 } -($dl_dlext, $dl_so, $dlsrc) = @Config::Config{qw(dlext so dlsrc)}; +#($dl_dlext, $dl_so, $dlsrc) = @Config::Config{qw(dlext so dlsrc)}; +($dl_dlext, $dl_so, $dlsrc) = ('so', 'so', 'dl_dlopen.xs'); $do_expand = 0; -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
