This package FTBFS with perl 5.22.0-2, which removed support for a long- obsolete way of overriding PREFIX when calling 'make install' with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as described in the lintian tag debian-rules-makemaker-prefix-is-deprecated[1] and the Debian Perl policy[2]: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ERROR: Can't create '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/File' mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/File: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.22/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 477. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at -e line 1. make[1]: *** [pure_vendor_install] Error 13 The fix is to use DESTDIR instead of PREFIX; please see the lintian `description for examples. Alternatively, newer versions of debhelper can automatically call make install with the correct arguments when using the dh7 style rules files. The perl 5.22 is due to start this week, so apologies for the late submission of this bug; for some reason my previous testing of this issue overlooked this package. Cheers, Dominic.
