I tried to remove 'perl-modules-5.24' as suggested but attempting to do so automatically removes 'licensecheck'. So I discarded this option. $ apt remove -s perl-modules-5.24 NOTE: This is only a simulation! apt needs root privileges for real execution. Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated, so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation! Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

I'm not able to > check any files due to this. Severity "important" is accurate: It reflects affect globally, not locally on a single setup. That's a common confusion - I did that too myself in the past, until I manage to wrap my mind around the concept. > Current status of 'perl-modules': > > $ dpkg -l | grep perl-modules > ii perl-modules-5.24 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 all Core Perl modules > ii perl-modules-5.32 5.32.0-5 all Core Perl modules > > As suggested, installing 'libpod-parser-perl' version 1.63-2 solves > the issue.

I'll leave it to others more experts in the inner workings of perl packaging to resolve where...

Package: licensecheck Version: 3.0.47-1 Followup-For: Bug #975998 X-Debbugs-Cc: rockst...@gmx.com Control: severity -1 important Dear Maintainer, I found the very same issue as reported by Uwe on a just updated sid machine. I've raised the severity of this bug because it renders the program unusable (and it probably should be 'grave' instead). I'm not able to check any files due to this. Current status of 'perl-modules': $ dpkg -l | grep perl-modules ii perl-modules-5.24 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 all Core Perl modules ii perl-modules-5.32 5.32.0-5 all Core Perl modules As suggested, installing 'libpod-parser-perl' version 1.63-2 solves the issue. So maybe 'licensecheck' should depend on it before it migrates to stable?

Hi, thanks for the report. This doesn't seem to occur for me in a clean sid chroot. Is yours an older one that has been upgraded? Do you happen to have an old perl-modules-5.24 package lying around in both? It's indeed an upgraded sid chroot. I didn't check the chroot, but on my host I have perl-modules-5.24 5.24.1-7 installed. Is libpod-parser-perl installed? No, libpod-parser-perl isn't installed, but it is indeed provided by perl-modules-5.24. I'm guessing this might be similar to #972322 and we need to do something about it on the src:perl side. Installing libpod-parser-perl and removing perl-modules-5.24 fixed the problem. Thanks Uwe
