[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#787676: gbrowse: FTBFS with perl 5.22 (Module::Build)

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Source: gbrowse
Version: 2.54+dfsg-3
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.22-transition

This package FTBFS with perl 5.22, since Module::Build has been
removed from perl core:

        perl Build.PL --installdirs vendor --config "optimize=-g -O2 -fstack-pro
tector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" --config "ld
=x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-se
curity -Wl,-z,relro" --conf=/etc/gbrowse --htdocs=/usr/share/gbrowse/htdocs --tmp=/var/cache/gbrowse --databases=/var/lib/gbrowse/databases --cgibin=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/gbrowse --www-user=www-data --registration_done=1 --persistent=/var/lib/gbrowse
Base class package "Module::Build" is empty.
    (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first,
    or make that module available in @INC (@INC contains: /«BUILDDIR»/gbrowse-2.54+dfsg/install_util /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.0 /usr/share/perl/5.22.0 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base .).

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /«BUILDDIR»/gbrowse-2.54+dfsg/install_util/GBrowseInstall.pm line 3.
Compilation failed in require at Build.PL line 9.

The fix is to add a build dependency on libmodule-build-perl.

This bug will become release critical nearer the time of the perl 5.22
migration.

Cheers,
Dominic.
