Hello,
is the Build-Depends on 'libcrypt-cbc-perl' really necessary? I built the
package with and without 'libcrypt-cbc-perl' installed and could not
find any difference.
Please remove the Build-Depends on 'libcrypt-cbc-perl' if possible.
Regards
Andreas Jochens

Hi,
this bug was left open back in October, but I don't think there is a
"right" solution available.
A bit of googling found a discussion in 2003 [1] suggesting a
'Build-Recommends' control field. If there was one, test script
dependencies for Perl modules would be a perfect use case for them.
Unfortunately, there currently isn't :(
I'm closing this since I think I have answered the question in
the title of the bug. Naturally, feel free to reply or reopen
if you still think the circular build-dependency should be
eliminated.
