tags 658947 = pending thanks Dominic Hargreaves dixit:
>This package currently uses one or more deprecated perl 4 era packages, >as shown on the lintian report[1]: This is sort of a false positive – cvs has a number of scripts in contrib/ which often don’t even work as-is but are provided as an idea of how to do certain things. The script in question is rcslock, which starts like this: # THIS SCRIPT IS PROBABLY BROKEN. REMOVING THE -T SWITCH ON THE #! LINE ABOVE # WOULD FIX IT, BUT THIS IS INSECURE. WE RECOMMEND FIXING THE ERRORS WHICH THE # -T SWITCH WILL CAUSE PERL TO REPORT BEFORE RUNNING THIS SCRIPT FROM A CVS # SERVER TRIGGER. PLEASE SEND PATCHES CONTAINING THE CHANGES YOU FIND That’s why, the next upload will no longer contain this script and a few others (changes already committed into cvs where the packaging is kept). >If you prefer, I will NMU your package with the dependency added. Please explicitly do not add these dependencies to the cvs package due to the reasons stated above. I’ll upload sometime within the next two months, to get the changes in before the freeze, but this is not in a hurry. If you have some usertag tracking, I recommend to untrack this bug as it can be seen a false positive.
