Figured this out; basically, the new version of SOAP::Lite changed how they were doing the ordering (probably for the better) and broke my hack. I fixed up the hack to just work, though I should probably check to make sure if it's even still necessary % git diff d48c1^ |git@:master@d48c1[debbu] diff --git a/cgi/soap.cgi b/cgi/soap.cgi index 53f7368..261042b 100755 --- a/cgi/soap.cgi +++ b/cgi/soap.cgi @@ -28,7 +28,12 @@ my $soap = Debbugs::SOAP::Server # kill off all of the date/time related bits in the serializer. my $typelookup = $soap->serializer()->{_typelookup}; for my $key (keys %{$typelookup}) { - delete $typelookup->{$key} if defined $key and $key =~ /Month|Day|Year|date|time|duration/i; + if (defined $key and + $key =~ /Month|Day|Year|date|time|duration/i + ) { + # set the sub to always return 0 + $typelookup->{$key}[1] = sub { 0 }; + } } our $warnings = ''; diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index e95c835..dfee543 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -32,6 +32,8 @@ debbugs (2.6.0~exp1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Support control at submit time.
