Bug#983433: libemail-outlook-message-perl: msgconvert: missing dependency on libemail-message-perl

[Paul Wise]

Package: libemail-outlook-message-perl
Version: 0.920-1
Severity: serious
Control: found -1 0.919-4~bpo10+1

Due to a change in msgconvert, libemail-outlook-message-perl is missing
a dependency on libemail-message-perl in bullseye and buster-backports,
but not in Debian buster or stretch.

I wasn't sure whether this was deliberate or not, but the needed
dependency on libemail-message-perl does not appear in Recommends or
Suggests either so I figure it was just missed.

I note that all the upstream metadata files indicate that the Perl
Email::Address module is required so Depends seems correct.

Looking at the debdiff between buster & buster-backports it looks like
this was introduced in buster-backports by the fix for mbox separators
(#904664) and in bullseye by the upstream release adding that patch.

   $ sudo chronic apt install -y libemail-outlook-message-perl 
   
   $ msgconvert
