Bug#989912: libregexp-pattern-license-perl: No deterministic results are provided

[Walter Lozano]

Package: libregexp-pattern-license-perl
Version: 3.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

As as user of licensecheck I found it does not provide deterministic results on
some circumstances. And example of this is gnutls28/m4/ax_code_coverage.m4
which is detected as UNKNOWN or LGPL.

After some debugging I found that the root cause could be in libregexp-pattern-
license-perl, I have proposed a fix which you can find in

https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libregexp-pattern-license-
perl/-/merge_requests/1

I hope you can help me to clarify this issue.

Thanks in advance.
