Package: libwww-perl Version: 5.803-3 Severity: important
In a system without any mail-transport-agent, libwww-perl fails to properly verify its absense with an error like this:
Use of uninitialized value in -x at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/mailto.pm line 80. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/mailto.pm line 81.
I suggest including package mail-transport-agent as a dependency, or correcting its use of libmailtools-perl.
