Package: pike7.6-perl
Version: 7.6.112-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
>From the buildd log:
## Configuring module: Perl
[...]
checking if perl is embeddable... no
[...]
build information:
[...]
Perl................ no (dependencies failed)
The resulting plugin file (./usr/lib/pike/7.6.112/modules/Perl.so)
is only 3.5k and doesn't link against libperl, so it's clearly
broken.
The bug is in libperl-dev: the attached autoconf test program from
src/modules/Perl/configure.in exits with a timeout after 10 seconds on
hppa. I'll clone this against perl and block accordingly.
That said, there's also a sourceful bug in pike7.6 because the build
doesn't fail on such an error but produces a broken package instead.

This was never a bug in Perl itself, as the need for PERL_SYS_INIT3()
is documented properly in perlembed.pod. The real bugs have been filed,
so I'm closing this one.
