this might not be licensecheck's fault but maybe is related to the
recent perl transition. But given I don't know much about Perl, I'm
reporting against licensecheck.
For all invokations of licensecheck I encounter:
uwe@taurus:~$ licensecheck
Base class package "Pod::Parser" is empty.
(Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package
first,
or make that module available in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl

This is on a machine that runs a mix of testing and unstable, but I can
reproduce this problem on a sid chroot.
Hi, thanks for the report. This doesn't seem to occur for me in a
clean sid chroot. Is yours an older one that has been upgraded? Do you
happen to have an old perl-modules-5.24 package lying around in both?
It's indeed an upgraded sid chroot. I didn't check the chroot, but on my
host I have perl-modules-5.24 5.24.1-7 installed.
Is libpod-parser-perl installed?
No, libpod-parser-perl isn't installed, but it is indeed provided by
perl-modules-5.24.
I'm guessing this might be similar to #972322 and we need to do something
about it on the src:perl side.
Installing libpod-parser-perl and removing perl-modules-5.24 fixed the
problem.
Thanks
Uwe
