--- Begin Message ---Source: perl Version: 5.20.2-3+deb8u6 Severity: serious Justification: causes other packages to FTBFS Tags: jessie upstream fixed-upstream It was discovered that the security fix from last summer caused various packages to FTBFS during unrelated QA work: request-tracker4_4.2.8-3+deb8u1 libgraph-writer-dsm-perl_0.006-1 libclass-c3-xs-perl_0.13-2 libclass-c3-perl_0.26-1 libbio-das-lite-perl_2.04-1.1 This was caused by an early version of a security fix in base.pm which was not released by upstream because of these compatibility problems. In stretch/sid these packages have been patched to work around the problem; it was an oversight that similar workarounds didn't get made in jessie. Now that there is an improved patch available from upstream which fixes this regression (currently in the 5.24.2-RC1 and 5.22.4-RC1 releases) we should apply this in jessie and (for completeness) stretch point releases, as well as sid. Upstream commit: https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/1afa2890005f3acdb5794bc9ec34dfd0a7e54c28 with additional documentation in later commits: https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/shortlog/refs/heads/maint-5.24

This was fixed in the last jessie point release (8.9) with perl/5.20.2-3+deb8u8, but the changelog entry had a wrong bug number. Closing now. -- Niko Tyni [email protected]
