This seems to be fixed in newer versions which we have in git.

The problem is that we have a lintian ftp-master autoreject problem:
E: libyaml-libyaml-perl: embedded-library usr/lib/perl5/auto/YAML/XS/LibYAML/LibYAML.so: libyaml

I've already created a branch gregoa/use-system-yaml which uses the
system libyaml; no big deal, except that the tests fail because the
embedded libyaml in libyaml-libyaml-perl is patched :/

Some time ago I updated the patch so that the tests pass; which
always feels a bit cheap but according the the notes that past me
added to the patch headers, the changes are related to changes in the
embedded stuff and go back to original test code in the distribution.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is: Could someone please take a look at
this and check if this makes sense?


Cheers,
gregor
