Usertags: perl-5.20-transition
Starting with version 5.20.0 (currently in experimental), the Debian
perl package is changing the "vendorarch" library paths (currently
/usr/lib/perl5) to include the multiarch triplet and the perl version. See
#748380 for details.
For this to work, packages containing binary perl modules need to migrate
from using the hardcoded /usr/lib/perl5 directory to the value of the
$Config{vendorarch} variable, as defined in the 'Config' module.
This package fails to build with perl_5.20.0-1 from experimental:
dh_install --sourcedir=/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/tmp
cp: cannot stat 'debian/tmp/usr/lib/perl5': No such file or directory
dh_install: cp -a debian/tmp/usr/lib/perl5 debian/libgenders-perl//usr/lib/
returned exit code 1
make: *** [binary-common] Error 2
One solution for this might be an executable debhelper install file
(available with debhelper compat level 9) expanding $Config{vendorarch}.
See #751924 for an example of this.
Please ask on the debian-perl list if you want help with this, and see
