Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* I'm co-maintaining debconf package in Fedora:
(http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/debconf.git)
* In our development branch pod2man (from perl-5.16.3) complained about
some debconf pod files and failed the build.
* Investigating this, I found that the reason was duplicated "=encoding"
lines in those files (looks like newer perl is picky about them)
* It looks like there's a flaw in the perl snippet in doc/Makefile
that generates those "=encodning" lines (the $$seen doesn't test
what it should...)
* You can see the patch I applied to our package to workaround that bug:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/debconf.git/tree/debconf-1.5.49-double-encoding.patch
* Another, unrelated issue is that the installation rules in the Makefile
use valid, but deprecated "-perm +100" format (instead of "-perm /100").
It seems that findutils-4.5.11 have an issue with this format:
- Here is the upsteam BR: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38474
- And my patch, replacing "+100" with "/100":
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/debconf.git/tree/debconf-1.5.49-fix-find.patch
Thanks,
