[Parl-devel] Bug#923558: debian-parl: FTBFS (Not a blessed reference)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:debian-parl
Version: 1.9.17
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in buster but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules binary-indep
test -x debian/rules
dh_testroot
dh_prep 
dh_installdirs -A 
mkdir -p "."
/usr/bin/make suite=bullseye
make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
mkdir -p content/desktop/eu/
cd content/desktop/eu/ \
	&& boxer compose \
		--nodedir /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/nodes \
		--skeldir /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/skel \
		--suite bullseye \
		desktop-eu
Must be an existing directory containing boxer classes (in $self->{"classdir"}) at (eval 177) line 52
    "ClassDir" is a subtype of "Dir"
    "Dir" is a subtype of "Path"
    Not a blessed reference
make[1]: *** [Makefile:18: content/desktop/eu/preseed.cfg] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make: *** [debian/blends.mk:81: content/desktop/preseed.cfg] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary-indep subprocess returned exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The build was made in my autobuilder with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
and it also fails here:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/debian-parl.html

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and affects,
so that this is still visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.
