So we have a change in libnet-ldap-perl that causes a FTBFS in Lemonldap::NG; if there's a bug in perl-ldap or if Lemonldap::NG uses it wrong is the good question; and of course how to fix it together :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ -- GPG Key IDs: 0x8649AA06, 0x00F3CFE4 : :' : Debian GNU/Linux user, admin, & developer - http://www.debian.org/ `. `' Member of VIBE!AT & SPI, fellow of Free Software Foundation Europe `-You're dead, Jim. -- McCoy, "Amok Time", stardate 3372.7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi,

Lemonldap::NG loads 2 modules (following the configuration): "authentication"
and "userDB" in a loop where $_ points to one of those words (as a constant).
In the test which failed, both inherits from Lemonldap::NG::Portal::_LDAP which
contains "use Net::LDAP".

Lemonldap::NG use this feature for a long time, and it has been tested many
times on the CPAN
(http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/L/Lemonldap-NG-Portal.html), and today only
1 Debian amd64 test has failed. I don't understand why...
Best regards,
Xavier
