Bug#323163: libvalidate-net-perl: Package dependency missing

Package: libvalidate-net-perl
Version: 0.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The libvalidate-net-perl depends on the libclass-default-perl package
because of the line:

use base 'Class::Default';

in ../Validate/Net.pm

Without libclass-default-perl the module doesn't work, it reports:

Base class package "Class::Default" is empty.
    (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.)
 at /usr/share/perl5/Validate/Net.pm line 10
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/Validate/Net.pm line 10.
...

I didn't bother to put in a patch because it would be more work to use
my patch than to extend the depends line in the control file.
