Bug#529377: dh-make-perl can't find dependencies w/apt-file unless --dist is used

[Ivan Kohler]

Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.52


This may be related to 517227.  I don't think the bug is quite fixed in 
all cases?


Even though I *do* have apt-file installed and have run apt-file update 
as root (and have tried deleting ~/.dh-make-perl/Contents.cache), I'm 
unable to find dependencies with --createrepo:

+ perl found in perl
- URI not found in any package
- LWP::UserAgent not found in any package
- Crypt::SSLeay not found in any package

Needs the following debian packages: perl (>= 5.8.0)
The following Perl modules are required and not installed in your 
system:
 - URI
 - LWP::UserAgent
 - Crypt::SSLeay
You do not have 'apt-file' currently installed, or have not ran
'apt-file update' - If you install it and run 'apt-file update' as
root, I will be able to tell you which Debian packages are those
modules in (if they are packaged). at /usr/share/perl5/DhMakePerl.pm 
line 108


However, if I pass "--dist unstable", everything works fine.  That 
doesn't seem right - the manpage indicates that not passing the option 
performs "no filtering".

My sources.list looks like this:

deb http://10.1.1.64:9999/debian/ testing  main non-free contrib
deb http://10.1.1.64:9999/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib

(I'm using a local approx cache)


Let me know if any info you need is missing; I had to construct the 
bugreport manually as reportbug is dying with some python traceback.
