Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dh-make-perl
Not sure if this a dh-make-perl, a bug somewhere or no bug at all. dh- make-perl seems to be the most likely candidate so I report it here. I created a package for http://xsh.sf.net to use on my computer with "dh-make-perl --build --cpan XML::XSH2". It was necessary to install and sometimes compile a couple of other cpan packages first. But let's not be concerned about that in this report. $ dpkg --info /export/debs/libxml-xsh2-perl_2.1.0-1_all.deb new debian package, version 2.0. size 287594 bytes: control archive= 1320 bytes. 532 bytes, 12 lines control 1986 bytes, 28 lines md5sums Package: libxml-xsh2-perl Version: 2.1.0-1 Section: perl Priority: optional Architecture: all Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16), libxml-libxslt-perl, libio-stringy-perl, libxml-libxml-common-perl, libparse-recdescent-perl, libxml-sax-writer-perl, libxml-libxml-perl Installed-Size: 1816 Maintainer: Rolf Leggewie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Description: scripting language for XPath-based editing of XML scripting language for XPath-based editing of XML . This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl. I think there are at least two things missing. First is at least a suggestion for "libterm-readline-gnu-perl" since that or a similar readline package is necessary for command line history, etc. Second and more importantly, after I deinstalled libxml-filter-domfilter-libxml- perl, libxml-libxml-iterator-perl and libxml-xupdate-libxml-perl from my computer, assuming they were only needed for compilation, xsh stopped working and gave an error. Luckily the error message was obvious enough that I reverted the deinstallation. Thus, at least one if not all of the above packages represent an undeclared dependency for libxml- xsh2-perl which dh-make-perl omitted when creating the package. It would be nice if dh-make-perl had created a package that sported the two above features. ** Affects: dh-make-perl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - xsh package dependencies seem to be incomplete + dh-make-perl misses to include some packages in "Depends" or "Suggests" ** Description changed: Binary package hint: dh-make-perl Not sure if this a dh-make-perl, a bug somewhere or no bug at all. dh- make-perl seems to be the most likely candidate so I report it here.
