Bug#837036: gitolite3: uninstallable without . in @INC

[David Bremner]

Package: gitolite3
Version: 3.6.4-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: uninstallable
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-cwd-inc-removal

The package fails to configure with the new default settings for @INC.

This is fixed in upstream commit 35e0b2a. Rather than cherry-picking
that, I'm planning to wait for a new upstream release, which should be
less than a week.


Setting up gitolite3 (3.6.4-1) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 76.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
Configuring gitolite3
---------------------

Please specify the key of the user that will administer the access configuration of gitolite.

This can be either the SSH public key itself, or the path to a file containing it. If it is blank, gitolite will 
be left unconfigured and must be set up manually.

If migrating from gitolite version 2.x, leave this blank.
