Bug#788148: libtemplate-plugin-class-perl: FTBFS with perl 5.22 due to perl-modules dep

Source: libtemplate-plugin-class-perl
Version: 0.13-3
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.22-transition

This package contains a versioned build-depends:

perl-modules (>= 5.10) | libmodule-build-perl

however the package description states that perl-modules should be
considered an internal implementation detail of perl and shoudn't be
depended upon.

With the perl 5.22 work in experimental, perl-modules is gone, and
this causes the FTBFS issue with sbuild. (It's still provided, but
this doesn't work with versioned depends.)

This build-dependency should probably be replaced with

libmodule-build-perl since libmodule-build-perl is in any case being
removed from the perl core.

This bug will become RC nearer the time of the perl 5.22 transition to
unstable.

Cheers,
Dominic.
