Package: libnet-xmpp-perl Version: 1.02-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading to jessie, an XMPP client application written in Perl
failed to start with
| Insecure dependency in eval while running setuid at
/usr/share/perl5/Net/XMPP/Protocol.pm line 1007.
The offending line
| eval "\$obj = new $NEWOBJECT{$tag}(\$tree);";
isn't something I'd call good Perl style. Replacing it with
| eval { $obj = new {$NEWOBJECT{$tag}}($tree); };
made the woes go away. This code still exists in stretch.
