Bug#1009614: findimagedupes: inline C code is out of date

Package: findimagedupes
Version: 2.19.1-1+b1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: code at jhnc.org

Hi debian maintainers, thanks for all your work.
I'm the author of findimagedupes.


The original findimagedupes Perl script includes inline C code
and autogenerates files at runtime in: /usr/local/lib/findimagedupes

The debian package modifies the Perl script to use pre-generated
files that it installs into: /usr/lib/.../perl5/...

However it seems the Debian build process uses an old version of
the inline C code, and does not check if it has changed.

(In this instance it is not problematic; I had only replaced the
"simplecountbits" function with something even simpler. But it might
be a problem in future if the code ever changes in a more major way.)
