Package: devscripts
Version: 2.19.2
Severity: normal
The ‘uscan(1)’ manual page describes the environment variable ‘USCAN_SYMLINK’,
giving examples of values accepted::
USCAN_SYMLINK
[…] If it is set to `yes` or `symlink`, then the symlinks will be made. […]
The ‘uscan’ program evidently does not support that. When setting
‘USCAN_SYMLINK=symlink’ the following error occurs::
$ USCAN_SYMLINK=symlink uscan
Argument "symlink" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at
/usr/share/perl5/Devscripts/Uscan/Config.pm line 183.
The error indicates some Perl module is attempting to parse the text value
“symlink” as a number.
Instead, the program should accept all the values specified for the
‘USCAN_SYMLINK’ variable and behave with the corresponding semantics.
