[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#806708: vcftools: FTBFS with perl != 5.20.2: hardcoded perl version

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Source: vcftools
Version: 0.1.14+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Justification: will FTBFS with upcoming transition
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.22-transition
Tags: sid stretch

This package FTBFS with perl 5.22, which is in experimental and due
to transition to unstable soon:

mv debian/vcftools/usr/share/perl/5.20.2 debian/vcftools/usr/share/perl5
mv: cannot stat 'debian/vcftools/usr/share/perl/5.20.2': No such file or directo
ry
debian/rules:13: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed

debian/rules hardcodes 5.20.2:

override_dh_install:
        dh_install
        mv debian/$(DEBPKGNAME)/usr/share/perl/5.20.2 debian/$(DEBPKGNAME)/usr/share/perl5
        rmdir debian/$(DEBPKGNAME)/usr/share/perl

Maybe this would do instead, if the underlying makefile cannot be fixed
(but there's probably a more elegant way):

        mv debian/$(DEBPKGNAME)/usr/share/perl/5.*  debian/$(DEBPKGNAME)/usr/share/perl5

Cheers,
Dominic.
