This package fails to build with Perl 5.42 (currently in experimental.) https://perl.debian.net/rebuild-logs/perl-5.42/libmediascan_0~20220401.git.34fc2d-7/libmediascan_0~20220401.git.34fc2d-7+b1_amd64-2025-08-22T05:57:37Z.build dh_auto_build --sourcedir=/build/libmediascan-sQcix3/libmediascan-0~20220401.git.34fc2d/bindings/perl cd bindings/perl && make -j2 make[2]: Entering directory '/build/libmediascan-sQcix3/libmediascan-0~20220401.git.34fc2d/bindings/perl' Running Mkbootstrap for Scan () chmod 644 "Scan.bs" "/usr/bin/perl" "/usr/share/perl/5.42/ExtUtils/xsubpp" -typemap '/usr/share/perl/5.42/ExtUtils/typemap' -typemap '/build/libmediascan-sQcix3/libmediascan-0~20220401.git.34fc2d/bindings/perl/typemap' Scan.xs > Scan.xsc cp lib/Media/Scan.pm blib/lib/Media/Scan.pm cp lib/Media/Scan/Result.pm blib/lib/Media/Scan/Result.pm cp lib/Media/Scan/Error.pm blib/lib/Media/Scan/Error.pm cp lib/Media/Scan/Audio.pm blib/lib/Media/Scan/Audio.pm cp lib/Media/Scan/Image.pm blib/lib/Media/Scan/Image.pm cp lib/Media/Scan/Video.pm blib/lib/Media/Scan/Video.pm cp lib/Media/Scan/Progress.pm blib/lib/Media/Scan/Progress.pm "/usr/bin/perl" -MExtUtils::Command::MM -e 'cp_nonempty' -- Scan.bs blib/arch/auto/Media/Scan/Scan.bs 644 Unparseable XSUB parameter: 'MediaScan *' in Scan.xs, line 273 make[2]: *** [Makefile:380: Scan.c] Error 1 This is because of changes in ExtUtils-ParseXS, which now properly detects invalid XS syntax in this module. See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=162293 for a similar issue in Crypt-SMIME. The attached patch adopts the technique suggested there by Dave Mitchell: give the ignored first parameter a name but no type. This works for on both Perl 5.40 and 5.42. If you want to test changes against Perl 5.42 in experimental and run into uninstallability problems, there is a test repository of rebuilt Debian sid packages for amd64 available at <https://perl.debian.net/>.

Newer ones (starting around Perl 5.42) issue a syntax error ("Unparseable XSUB parameter") instead. See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=162293 for a similar issue in another module (Crypt-SMIME), where Dave Mitchell recommends giving the ignored parameter a name but no type. --- bindings/perl/Scan.xs | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/bindings/perl/Scan.xs b/bindings/perl/Scan.xs index e778e98..c1376a5 100644 --- a/bindings/perl/Scan.xs +++ b/bindings/perl/Scan.xs @@ -270,7 +270,7 @@ CODE: } void -set_log_level(MediaScan *, int level) +set_log_level(class, int level) CODE: { ms_set_log_level(level); -- 2.49.0
