Hello, after some time I have to rebuild some debian packages using the debhelper scripts and recognized the following error:
'dh_gencontrol' fails with missing File/FcntlLock.pm: $> dpkg-buildpackage -b -d ... dh_gencontrol Can't locate File/FcntlLock.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.12.4/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.12.4 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4/x86_64- linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4 /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/dpkg- gencontrol line 24. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/dpkg-gencontrol line 24. dh_gencontrol: dpkg-gencontrol -ldebian/changelog -Tdebian/modules-xen- domu.substvars -Pdebian/modules-xen-domu returned exit code 2 make: *** [binary-arch] Error 25 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 There were no changes done within the debian rules or similar, just the packages sources have been updated - these rules worked fine in the past. I can also confirm that everything workes fine again after manually installing the CPAN 'File-FcntlLock' package from http://search.cpan.org/~jtt/File-FcntlLock-0.12/ I don't understand why the File-FcntlLock package is not provided by portage (at least I didn't find any corresponding package) - it looks like it has been removed from portage tree (as the problem did not occur in the past - even though I could not find any entry regarding an uninstall in emerge.log either). I tried to solve the problem by running - emerge -vu --deep --newuse @world - revdep-rebuild - emerge --oneshot dev-lang/perl - perl-cleaner --all - perl-cleaner --allmodules --libperl --phupdate There's still no File/FcntlLock.pm. Which portage package or missing USE flag should provide this CPAN package? Is it obsolete and should be replaced by something else? Then it would be a bug in debhelpers dependencies ... dev-lang/perl & dev-util/debhelper are both current stable versions, installing latest unstable dev-util/debhelper makes no difference. Thanks a lot & best regards Hans
