Bug#865035: libb-hooks-parser-perl: FTBFS with Perl 5.26: 'yy_parser {aka struct yy_parser}' has no member named 'sublex_info'

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libb-hooks-parser-perl
Version: 0.17-1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.26-transition

This package fails to build with Perl 5.26 (currently in experimental.)

A full build log is available at
  http://perl.debian.net/rebuild-logs/perl-5.26/libb-hooks-parser-perl_0.17-1/libb-hooks-parser-perl_0.17-1+b2_amd64-2017-05-20T23:55:32Z.build

and the server also hosts a test repository of packages binNMU'd for Perl
5.26 that can be used for testing purposes; see <http://perl.debian.net/>.

There's no upstream ticket yet, probably because this needs
Params-Classify to build and that hasn't been fixed upstream for 5.26 yet
(see [rt.cpan.org #114490].)
