Package: perl Version: 5.18.1-5 Severity: minor I've just uploaded perl/5.18.1-5, including this change by Dominic: * Various tidying of Copyright file in line with Lintian's suggestions http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=perl/perl.git;a=commitdiff;h=49da9b5f9fa84dc382acce3404eff668761b75a3
which essentially removes all formatted text from the non-standard License paragraphs (but moves some of them into Comment paragraphs.) Presumably the lintian suggestions this is fixing are like I: perl source: unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright regcomp (paragraph at line 2325) Unfortunately the fix makes 'cme check dpkg-copyright' barf, caught by the maintainer tests in debian/t/copyright.t. It seems there are edge cases around conjunctions and disjunctions of license short names, as in for instance License: REGCOMP, and GPL-1+ or Artistic which triggers Warning: skipping value REGCOMP, and GPL-1+ or Artistic because of the following errors: license GPL-1+ is not declared in main License section. Expected [...] and later Configuration item 'Files:" regcomp.c regexec.c" License short_name' has a wrong value: Undefined mandatory value. This needs a bit more investigation than I can do right now, but I didn't want it to block the bugfixes in 5.18.1-5. Filing this as a reminder: debian/t/copyright.t is currently failing. We can look at this later and decide if either lintian or libconfig-model-dpkg-perl is buggy, or if we must come up with something better in our copyright file. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
