Hi,
we're changing the directory where binary Perl modules are installed
from the traditional /usr/lib/perl5 to either /usr/lib/<triplet>/perl5
(containing the multiarch triplet) or /usr/lib/<triplet>/perl5/<version>
(containing additionally the current major Perl version.)
There's a pending Perl policy change in #748380 advising packages not
to hardcode /usr/lib/perl5 anymore but to expand $Config{vendorarch}
(from the Config module) during the build instead.
"Normal" build systems based on ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Module::Build do
this automatically, but 62 packages either failed to build or lost their
libperl linkage because of this in my test rebuilds of affected packages
(reverse dependencies of perlapi-5.18.* or libperl5.18, with a total of 540).
Most of these are hardcoding /usr/lib/perl5 in debian/rules and should
be trivial to fix.
It currently looks like we can't stay with /usr/lib/perl5 easily even
if we want to due to ABI skew causing segfaults during upgrades (see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2014/05/msg00139.html), so fixing
these packages will probably be a blocker for a Perl 5.20 transition.
I've uploaded perl_5.20.0-1 to experimental today with $Config{vendorarch}
pointing to /usr/lib/<triplet>/perl5/5.20 . It's currently in
the NEW queue due to the libperl SONAME change.
I'm proposing a mass bug filing on these 62 packages, initially at
severity 'normal' or 'important', usertagged [email protected]
/ perl-5.20-transition. The output of 'dd-list' is attached.
The currently recommended idiom for fixing the simple cases of
hardcoding /usr/lib/perl5 in debian/rules is replacing them with
something like this:
ARCHLIB := $(shell perl -MConfig -e 'print $$Config{vendorarch}')
Please direct any questions on fixing packages to the debian-perl list
so others can help too.
