Public bug reported:
Package: libdpkg-perl
Version: 1.20.12 (or current on Ubuntu 22.04)
Perl version: 5.42.0 (development/testing)
The file /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Changelog/Debian.pm contains the
following line:
use Dpkg::Changelog qw(:util);
However, Dpkg::Changelog does not support any import list, and this
causes a failure under Perl 5.42.0 due to stricter import behavior.
This breaks any tooling that relies on libdpkg-perl with newer versions
of Perl. Given the import does nothing, it should be perfectly safe to
remove.
Suggested fix:
```diff
-use Dpkg::Changelog qw(:util);
+use Dpkg::Changelog;
** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Patch added: "ChangelogDebian.patch"
