commit b5b9b42fce4fe6cdf331de352dbd4ad9655c3b70
Author: Raphael Hertzog <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Mon Jun 9 21:47:48 2008 +0200
Set PERL_DL_NONLAZY to 1 in perl scripts called by configuration scripts
* scripts/dpkg-divert.pl, scripts/update-alternatives.pl,
scripts/install-info.pl, scripts/dpkg-statoverride.pl: Set
PERL_DL_NONLAZY to 1 so that the usage of Locale::Gettext doesn't
cause run-time failures when this perl binary module is not
compiled for the corresponding perl version (and this happens in
configuration scripts, in particular preinst, during upgrades).
See http://bugs.debian.org/479711 for details.

"3.0 (quilt)") will now contain "/dev/null" as previous filename when the
