Bug#568994: "Unknown encoding 'unicode-1-1-utf-7'", update Encode.pm

[Marc Beyer]

Package: perl-modules
Version: 5.10.0-19lenny2
Severity: Normal

When using the mail gateway of request-tracker3.6 (version
3.6.7-5+lenny3), some mails produce the below error message.

This is due to a missing alias unicode-1-1-utf-7 for utf7 . See the CPAN
bug #38558 (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=38558). This
bug is fixed in Encode.pm version 2.27, the current version of Encode.pm
in perl-modules is 2.23. As this is a bug that occurs on an existing
production platform, I suggest that the version for Encode.pm in
perl-modules/lenny be bumped up to at least 2.27

Error message:

Encoding error: Unknown encoding 'unicode-1-1-utf-7' at
/usr/share/request-tracker3.6/lib/RT/I18N.pm line 479
