Package: libsoap-lite-perl
Version: 0.69-1
Severity: important

hi,

I just got bitten by upstream bug 1612405
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1612405&group_id=66000&atid=513017

The problem is that after transport via soap-lite
an array like this:
$VAR1 = { 
          'foo' => [],
          'bar' => []
        };

gets distorted to this:
$VAR1 = {
          'foo' => [
                         $VAR1->{'bar'}
                       ],
          'bar' => []
        };

This of course breaks some applications using soap-lite
(like an internal app here), but I did not test any of the reverse-deps
of soap-lite in debian.

And patch is attached to this bug-report and has been included
in the upstream release since 0.70_01 Oct 18 2007 according to
the Changelog:
http://soaplite.cvs.sourceforge.net/soaplite/soaplite-dist/Changes?view=markup

The debian/sarge version of this package (0.60-2) was not affected by
this bug.

please updated the package in debian,
thanks!


PS: does this bug warrant an update to the package in etch?
