--- Begin Message ---Package: cons Version: 2.3.0.1+2.2.0-2 Severity: grave Tags: a11y upstream Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, cons unfortunately fails immediately and no longer succeeds on building even a single C source file: do "Construct" failed, '.' is no longer in @INC; did you mean do "./Construct"? at /usr/bin/cons line 689. cons: don't know how to construct "example" '.' was removed from @INC in Perl 5.26, although this has been far from optimal long before and I can't say when exactly it turned fatal. Just in case no one feels like fixing this anymore, I think it would be nice to at least mention the problems in the description, not least because cons comes with a fairly whopping (and good) man page at almost 2000 pp. As enjoyable a read as it makes for, some people might just waste a lot of time, esp. since the changelog promises a last known-to-be-good version (yes, dating from 2006).
