Package: perl
Version: 5.8.4-7
Severity: serious
perl will suffer FTBFS if the kernel revision at build-time of the
previously installed perl does not match the current one. Log from a
pbuilder:
sh mv-if-diff configpm.tmp lib/Config.pm
./miniperl -Ilib lib/lib_pm.PL
Extracting lib.pm (with variable substitutions)
AutoSplitting perl library
./miniperl -Ilib -e 'use AutoSplit; \
autosplit_lib_modules(@ARGV)' lib/*.pm
Errno architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.4.27-ti1211) does not match
executable architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.10) at
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/Errno.pm line 11.

Thus, during build-time, /usr/lib/perl/5.8/Errno.pm is probed, and if
the kernel revision doesn't match the current one, it fails. I have
verified that this happens on i386, alpha and amd64.
It _appears_ that something applied in patch set 10 introduces this.
Reversing it by 'patch -R -p1 <debian/patches/10_fix_file_path' before
build avoids the above issue. But I really have no clue what's going on
here.
