--- Begin Message ---Package: libio-all-perl Version: 0.50-1 Severity: important Control: block 730895 by -1 According to the POD, io->file "sets the type of the object to file and sets the pathname of the file if provided. Nevertheless, the following code (taken from POD's "create-cat-to" example) running in an empty directory generates a directory instead of a file: $ ls -l; echo foo | perl -MIO::All -e 'io("-") > io->file("./bar")->assert'; ls -l total 0 Can't open file './bar' for output: Is a directory at -e line 1. total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 abe abe 0 Dec 30 23:51 bar/ $ With the previous 0.46-1 version of the package, this worked fine: $ ls -l; echo foo | perl -MIO::All -e 'io("-") > io->file("./bar")->assert'; ls -l total 0 total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 abe abe 4 Dec 30 23:56 bar $ (Yes, IO::All overloads the ">" operator.) This unexpected behaviour change caused libspork-perl FTBFS (and not working in general), see http://bugs.debian.org/730895 Interestingly, this doesn't happen if I remove the assert method call -- then it works as expected (example from version 0.50-1 again): $ ls -l; echo foo | perl -MIO::All -e 'io("-") > io->file("./bar")'; ls -l total 0 total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 abe abe 4 Dec 31 00:21 bar $ This probably also the way how we can fix #730895 without waiting for a fix in libio-all-perl. But the code to change this is in libspoon-perl and not libspork-perl. So maybe the best way to fix this would be in libio-all-perl anyway. BTW, I'm not sure which of these upstream changes caused this regression: --- version: 0.50 date: Fri Oct 18 13:08:41 PDT 2013 changes: - Fix for rt87200 --- version: 0.49 date: Fri Oct 18 01:05:39 CDT 2013 changes: - Fix various tests on Windows --- version: 0.48 date: Tue Oct 8 01:45:39 CDT 2013 changes: - Add ->os method to ::Filesys (Arthur Axel "fREW" Schmidt) --- version: 0.47 date: Mon Sep 30 18:57:52 CDT 2013 changes: - Add ->glob method to ::Dir (Arthur Axel "fREW" Schmidt) - Add list based constructors to ::Dir and ::File (Arthur Axel "fREW" Schmidt) - Add ->mimetype method to ::FileSys (Arthur Axel "fREW" Schmidt) - Add ->ext method to ::FileSys (Arthur Axel "fREW" Schmidt) - All tests should be parallelizable (Shlomi Fish) --- Also a debdiff between 0.46-1 and 0.50-1 shows nothing obvious or suspicious. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (900, 'testing'), (899, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.12-trunk-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libio-all-perl depends on: ii libspiffy-perl 0.31-1 ii perl 5.18.1-5 libio-all-perl recommends no packages.
