Hi! Here is update summary. Currently there are only six open blocked bugs and their state is:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887547 - libperl-critic-perl Fixed in git and is awaiting for an upload. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887548 - libregexp-common-email-address-perl Module just exports problematic regex and therefore needs to be removed together with Email::Address. The only one reverse dependency is duck. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887543 - libemail-find-perl Module has not been updated since 2007. So it is questionable if it ever going to be fixed. Reverse dependences are: cil, libhtml-fromtext-perl, libtemplate-plugin-clickable-email-perl. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887538 - libdata-validate-email-perl Patch for that module is attached in the bug tracker. As upstream does not have any git repository nor way for creating a pull requests, somebody need to try contacting upstream and sending them prepared patch. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887542 - libemail-address-list-perl Module exports similar set of regexes as Email::Address and depends on Email::Address. So it is not easy to fix it. But Email::Address::XS provides functionality offered by Email::Address::List and the only reverse dependency is request-tracker4. So it should be removed together with Email::Address. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887551 - request-tracker4 Last update is from April that upstream is going to look at this problem for 4.6 cycle. So for two packages from six are patches available, just needs to be send to upstream. Are you as Debian downstream maintainers handle those two Data::Validate::Email and Perl::Critic modules and try to find contact of upstream projects? About request-tracker4 can you try to check what is current state? And about remaining, should I fill a bug for duck, cil, libhtml-fromtext-perl and libtemplate-plugin-clickable-email-perl packages? Or do you have a better idea how to handle libregexp-common-email-address-perl and libemail-find-perl? -- Pali Rohár [email protected]
