Thanks. Note that the patch only helps if cdbs or debian/rules is also adapted, and then only for yaird, only for perl; not for other stuff in /usr/local, not for other packages being built. For this reason, I'll hold off incorporating the patch until it becomes clear this cannot be fixed in cdbs or dpkg-dev. Outline of possible fix: * do 'configure PATH=/bin:/usr/bin' rather than plain configure. Tested from the command line, helps hiding /usr/local/bin/perl effectively. * in cdbs, class/autotools-vars.mk, do that path setting in DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT_ENV. This bit is untested.
