Hello,
Here is a small patch to make "make check" PASS when a suitable perl
is not in /usr/bin. (without this, I had update-copyright.sh FAIL,
while my system has fairly recent perl installed, but not in /usr/bin)
Thanks for the patch.
However, that test should exit 77, and hence merely be skipped,
when /usr/bin/perl does not exist. Please run it manually,
to see what's going wrong:
Hello,
Given Eric's answer, I guess the patch will have to be rewritten :-)
Anyway, I did not say there was no perl in /usr/bin. There is one, but
does not have Warning.pm, maybe it's too old. Hence the test's smoke
test on perl availability passes, but it is not strict enough.
Anyway, I expected the test to use what's in my path.
