Package: perl Version: 5.30.0-5 Forwarded: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=134169 Severity: serious
A regression in perl 5.30.0 breaks setting supplementary groups by assigning a space-separated string to the $) variable. This breaks postgresql-common, which relies on taking on all the supplementary groups of the postgres user (specifically ssl-cert, to be able to read SSL certificates). This has been fixed in blead¹, and proposed for backporting to the 5.30 branch².
