Source: bioperl
Version: 1.7.1-2
Severity: serious

As announced last year[1] and as advised by deprecation messages,
rename(1) will be removed from the perl package after the stretch
release, and this is now imminent.

Your package FTBFS with perl from experimental as a result. Please
add a Build-Depends: rename to your package, and all will be well
again:

# prename is the rename utility written in perl usually available as /usr/bin/rename in Debian.
prename s/.pl$// debian/bioperl/usr/bin/*pl
/bin/sh: 1: prename: not found
