Public bug reported:
This bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=661370
is present in libapache2-mod-perl2 shipping for precise (2.0.5-5ubuntu1). It
needs to be ported as the package is unusable in its present form.
Included is my discussion with the #debian-perl folks on irc:
10:34 < ether> hi folks, I seem to have found a packaging error with
libapache-mod-perl2 --
https://gist.github.com/karenetheridge/85d127faa7b079cfe2b1ed556500a18d
10:35 < ether> after installing libapache-mod-perl2, perl
-MApache2::SizeLimit -e1 shows: Can't locate Apache/SizeLimit/Core.pm in
@INC... and indeed Apache::SizeLimit::Core was not installed, despite it
being being called from code that was installed
10:35 < ether> as I showed in the gist, the cpan mod_perl package does
contain this file.
10:44 < gregoa> ether: which version of libapache2-mod-perl2 is this? for
the last one I see the file in
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libapache2-mod-perl2/filelist :
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Apache/SizeLimit/Core.pm
10:46 < ether> we are running ubuntu precise, so we have the 2.0.5 package
installed -- http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libapache2-mod-perl2
10:46 < ether> I am not very ubuntu-savvy so I am running dpkg commands
that my sysadmin is feeding me
10:47 < gregoa> ubtunu can mostly be treated like debian :)
10:48 < gregoa> precise a.k.a. 12.04 ... hm ... the oldest package we have
in debian is 2.0.7-3 in oldstable
10:48 < ntyni> #661370 ?
10:49 -zwiebelbot:#debian-perl- Debian#661370: libapache2-mod-perl2:
Apache/SizeLimit/Core.pm not included in deb - https://bugs.debian.org/661370
10:49 < gregoa> here it's missing indeed:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/libapache2-mod-perl2/filelist
10:49 < gregoa> and ntyni is again faster :)
10:49 < ntyni> :)
10:50 < gregoa> so fixed on 2.0.7-1 in june 2012
10:51 < ether> ah cool! why would I not be getting that fix when I install?
10:51 < gregoa> because ubuntu precise has libapache2-mod-perl2
(2.0.5-5ubuntu1) from before the fix, it seems
10:51 < ether> did the fix never make it to precise?
10:51 < ether> :(
10:51 < gregoa> seems so :/
10:52 < ether> is there a god I can sacrifice a chicken to to make that
happen? :)
10:52 < mst> ether: ubuntu snapshot debian testing every six months then
don't update anything
10:52 < gregoa> probably, but she lives in ubuntu-land :)
10:53 < gregoa> I think there is a way to request updates in ubuntu
releases but I don't know the procedure
10:54 < sebastic> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
10:54 < mst> generally they won't apply anything except security fixes
10:54 < mst> although "Bugs which represent severe regressions from the
previous release of Ubuntu. This includes packages which are totally unusable,
like being uninstallable or crashing on startup."
10:54 < mst> sounds like it applies here
10:55 < gregoa> the commit that Dom made back then in debian is trivial:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/libapache2-mod-perl2.git/commit/?id=2581833a1925285f525275abf15a7b12af9c71e1
11:02 < gregoa> apparantly not reported yet:
