Some notes:
% apt-cache --no-all-versions show libsnmp-perl | grep Depends
Depends: perl (>= 5.30.0-6), perlapi-5.30.0, libc6 (>= 2.15)
So the perl package doesn't depend on any snmp libraries. The
previous version had
Depends: perl (>= 5.30.0-5), perlapi-5.30.0, libc6 (>= 2.15), libsnmp30 (>=
5.7.3+dfsg)
Digging around in the git repo shows that the perl build system has
been changed. (No idea if this is related.)
Looking at the (local) build log we see:
… well different things at each build, but once I saw the perl
modules built first in dh_auto_build with warnings about missing C
libraries …
Upstream ChangeLog says:
The Perl module build problems were caused by a concurrent build
(make -j<n>) and not by a problem in any of the Makefile.PL files.
When I try
%:
dh $@ --no-parallel
I end up with
Depends: perl (>= 5.30.0-6), perlapi-5.30.0, libc6 (>= 2.15), libsnmp35 (>=
5.8+dfsg)
and the problem is gone:
% perl -MSNMP -e 1
%
So it looks like the "whole" problem is that net-snmp is not
parallel-build safe …
Not sure if --no-parallel is an acceptable solution but at least the
area of the problem is a bit clearer now. (Fixing the many
Makefile.*s might be cleaner but that's too much for me now.)
Cheers,
