Package: libfilter-perl Version: 1.45-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I installed libfilter-cpp today on Wheezy. When I attempted to use it: $ head -n 2 filter-cpp.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use Filter::cpp ; $ perl filter-cpp.pl Cannot find cpp at filter-cpp.pl line 2 Compilation failed in require at filter-cpp.pl line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at filter-cpp.pl line 2. The problem was that there was no executable file named 'cc' in my $PATH. The solution was to install the 'gcc' Apt package. So, the 'libfilter' Apt package meta-data needs to indicate that the 'gcc' Apt package is required.
