Bug#813920: gnupod-tools: fails to initialize ipod

[Corey Nelson]

The issue is caused by the opening bracket on line 362 (as of 
05/04/2016) after "defined(@" in file 
"/usr/share/perl5/GNUpod/XMLhelper.pm".  Removing this opening bracket 
and one of the closing brackets after "plname" fixes the issue.


I think this has to do with changes in the perl5 standard.

To clarify, line 362 in /usr/share/perl5/GNUpod/XMLhelper.pm has to be 
changed from:
if (defined(@{$XDAT->{playlists}->{data}->{$current_plname}})) { #the 
playlist is not empty/

to:
if (defined(@$XDAT->{playlists}->{data}->{$current_plname})) { #the 
playlist is not empty/



Hope this helps,
Corey

Bug#813920: gnupod-tools: fails to initialize ipod

[Bernhard Kneip]

Package: gnupod-tools
Version: 0.99.8-2.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to sync my ipod classic 6th generation today the first time with 
gnupod-tools.
Doing the first "gnupod_INIT -m /media/bernhard/BAMMES\ IPOD" fails with

>Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at 
>/usr/share/perl5/GNUpod/XMLhelper.pm line 362.
>Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/gnupod_INIT line 26.
>BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/gnupod_INIT line 26.

thanks in advance for your help,

Bernhard
