--- Begin Message ---Package: libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl Version: 0.100-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I have just realised that a long-established cron job is not doing what it should as Getopt::Long processing of option values is broken. I do not know when this happened. It used to work but it no longer does so, and I notice that Getopt::Long in debian seems to have been replaced by Getopt::Long::Descriptive. I assume that Getopt::Long::Descriptive is the problem but I have not gone back and tested with the CPAN version of Getopt::Long to be sure. The problem is that the implementation of ":i" and ":+" is wrong, compared with the documentation of (and earlier behaviour of) Getopt::Long. The examples below use the following test script (getopt-test.pl): #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Getopt::Long 2.33 qw(:config gnu_getopt auto_help auto_version); my $VERBOSITY = 0; my $HISTORY = 0; GetOptions( "verbose|v:+" => \$VERBOSITY, "history|h:1" => \$HISTORY ); print "VERBOSITY = $VERBOSITY\n"; print "HISTORY = $HISTORY\n"; The first problem is that ":1" does not allow the value to be set except using "=". For example, none of the following commands set the value of $HISTORY: getopt-test.pl -h getopt-test.pl -h 2 getopt-test.pl -h2 getopt-test.pl --history getopt-test.pl --history 2 The second problem is that ":+" does not increment the value. For example, none of the following commands set the value of $VERBOSITY: getopt-test.pl -v getopt-test.pl -vvvv getopt-test.pl -v3 getopt-test.pl --verbose getopt-test.pl --verbose 2 Extracts from the documentation of Getopt::Long: : number [ desttype ] Like :i, but if the value is omitted, the number will be assigned. : + [ desttype ] Like :i, but if the value is omitted, the current value for the option will be incremented. If this bug is in the upstream version of Getopt::Long::Descriptive and cannot be fixed, then debian should revert to packaging Getopt::Long. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IE.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl depends on: ii libio-stringy-perl 2.111-2 ii libparams-validate-perl 1.26-1 ii libsub-exporter-perl 0.986-1 ii perl 5.24.1-2 libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl recommends no packages. libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
