Bug#780351: libforks-perl: Version check on Storable broken when version number is not numeric

[Patrik Wallstrom]

Package: libforks-perl
Version: 0.36-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Line 1570 on forks.pm has this:

    local $Storable::Deparse = 1 if $Storable::VERSION >= 2.05;

So I get the following problem on use:

expo$~>perl -Mforks
Argument "2.49_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20/forks.pm line 1570.

Since the version apparantly is 2.49_01 and not 2.49, which means that this version of forks is not usable right now.
