Source: latex2html
Version: 2015-debian1-1
Severity: important
User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-cwd-inc-removal

Further to the functional issues with latex2html itself (see #834420)
the package also FTBFS when '.' is removed from @INC - see the log at [1].
Possibly config/config.pl should be invoked with "perl -I.".

This change is being made for security reasons, and matches the long-term
upstream plan to remove '.' from @INC; for more background, see #588017
and [2].

This bug will become RC when the perl package change removing '.' from
@INC by default is uploaded to unstable, expected in a week or two.

This behaviour can be tested prior to the upload by uncommenting the line
in /etc/perl/sitecustomize.pl (on any up-to-date wheezy, jessie or sid
system).

Thanks,
Dominic.
