Source: remctl Version: 3.18-3 Severity: important Tags: ftbfs forky sid upstream patch User: [email protected] Usertags: perl-5.42-transition
This package fails to build with Perl 5.42 (currently in experimental.) https://perl.debian.net/rebuild-logs/perl-5.42/remctl_3.18-3/remctl_3.18-3+b1_amd64-2025-08-23T07:37:05Z.build # Failed test '...and correct error' # at t/backend/options.t line 96. # got: 'number: value "foo" invalid for option number (integer number expected) # ' # expected: 'number: value "foo" invalid for option number (number expected) # ' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 13. This is because Getopt-Long slightly changed its diagnostics in version 2.58, bundled with Perl 5.42.0. See https://github.com/sciurius/perl-Getopt-Long/issues/26 Proposed patch attached. I tested lightly that this passes with both the old and the new Getopt-Long behaviour. If you want to test changes against Perl 5.42 yourself and run into uninstallability problems, there is a test repository of rebuilt Debian sid packages available at <https://perl.debian.net/>.
