Package: libio-callback-perl
Version: 1.12-1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.20-transition
This package fails to build from source with Perl 5.20 (currently in
experimental) and sbuild:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sbuild-build-depends-libio-callback-perl-dummy : Depends: perl (< 5.19) but 5.20.0-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
The problem is this dependency:
Build-Depends: perl (<< 5.19) | libmodule-build-perl (>= 0.40),
Perhaps something like this (untested) could work?
Build-Depends: perl (>= 5.17.1~) | libmodule-build-perl (>= 0.40), libmodule-build-perl
(The unversioned dependency would guarantee either a perl version with
the bundled M::B, or a separate package. The versioned alternative
would guarantee that the M::B version is new enough.)
I suppose we'll have to teach lintian new tricks too at some point...
