Package: libsignal-mask-perl
Version: 0.008-3
Severity: important

This package fails its autopkgtest checks with Perl 5.40 (currently
in experimental.)
https://ci.debian.net/packages/libs/libsignal-mask-perl/unstable/amd64/50045830/
72s # Subtest: all modules in libsignal-mask-perl pass the syntax check
72s 1..2
72s # Name "Signal::Mask" used only once: possible typo at /usr/share/perl5/Signal/Mask.pm line 22.
72s not ok 1 - /usr/bin/perl -wc /usr/share/perl5/Signal/Mask.pm exited successfully
72s # Name "Signal::Pending" used only once: possible typo at /usr/share/perl5/Signal/Pending.pm line 13.
72s not ok 2 - /usr/bin/perl -wc /usr/share/perl5/Signal/Pending.pm exited successfully
72s not ok 4 - all modules in libsignal-mask-perl pass the syntax check
72s Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
72s Failed 1/4 subtests
This is because of an intentional behaviour change in Perl 5.40:
https://metacpan.org/dist/perl/view/pod/perldelta.pod#Changes-to-Existing-Diagnostics
Name "%s::%s" used only once: possible typo
This warning now honors being marked as fatal. [GH #13814]
See https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/13814 for more information.
Now, /usr/share/perl5/Signal/Mask.pm and /usr/share/perl5/Signal/Pending.pm have
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
so the warning now correctly causes the check to exit with an error code.
A fix might be to add "no warnings 'once';" to the block where the
offending variable is used.
