Package: libparams-validate-perl Version: 0.91-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Lines 131 and 132 of /usr/lib/perl5/Params/ValidateXS.pm are invalid. They were added in 0.89-3 (UNRELEASED), with a note: > NOTE to potential uploaders: please check if debian/patches/prototype.patch > is > sane and remove it otherwise debian/patches/prototype.patch is most certainly not sane, and it should be removed. Removal of this patch fixes the problem. A more elaborate explaination: pod-coverage complained about the original source lines, which looked like this: > *validate = \&_validate; > *validate_pos = \&_validate_pos; So, prototype.patch was created, which makes them read this way: > *validate = \&_validate([EMAIL PROTECTED]); > *validate_pos = \&_validate_pos(\@@); Perl interpretes "\&_validate([EMAIL PROTECTED])" as \ (_validate([EMAIL PROTECTED])), which is: passing @$ as a reference to _validate(), and take a reference to the return value. This causes the program to die, because at the time it is called, there is no _validate() function (it is undefined). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libparams-validate-perl depends on: ii libc6 2.7-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.10.0-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.10.0] 5.10.0-10 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis libparams-validate-perl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
