Hello,
I'm applying for maintainership and am in the process of preparing a few .deb-s. These are (currently) only Perl modules wrapped for Debian usage. There is a problem with two of them I don't understand: 1. libimage-size-perl: Lintian says: W: libimage-size-perl: perl-script-uses-unknown-module ./usr/lib/perl5/Image/Size.pm use File::Spec I have a corresponding libfile-spec-perl and also mentioned this in control/Depends. 2. libdbi-perl: (I know this is maintained by Christian Hammers, not me, but I had to adjust a tiny bit, and also wanted to be able to sign it) Lintian says: W: libdbi-perl: perl-script-uses-unknown-module ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/DBI/ProxyServer.pm use RPC::PlServer 0.2001 W: libdbi-perl: perl-script-uses-unknown-module ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/DBD/Proxy.pm use RPC::PlClient 0.2000 W: libdbi-perl: perl-script-uses-unknown-module ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/DBD/ADO.pm require Win32::OLE W: libdbi-perl: perl-script-uses-unknown-module ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/DBD/ADO.pm require Win32::OLE::Const W: libdbi-perl: perl-script-uses-unknown-module ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/DBD/ADO.pm require Win32::OLE::Variant W: libdbi-perl: perl-script-uses-unknown-module ./usr/bin/dbiproxy require RPC::PlServer::Test but w/o me doing much on this one... My (wild) guess is that the mentioned modules are not available as stand-alone modules and can therefore not be checked by the package management system which lintian belongs to. I'd like advice on how I can find what's going wrong here. The whole stuff can be downloaded at http://www.tonimueller.org/download/debian/ (apt-get'able) if anyone wants to peek into this. Thank you! Best Regards, --Toni++
