Bug#1129472: Error: load_data called with non scalar arg for some list fields

[Andrew McMillan]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 3.017
Severity: normal

I receive this warning when a package has two screenshots in
d/upstream/metadata:


Configuration item 'upstream-metadata Screenshots' has a Load data structure
(perl) error:
        load_data called with non scalar arg
$wrong data = [
                'https://github.com/paperwm/media/blob/master/tiling.png',
                'https://github.com/paperwm/media/raw/master/scratch.png'
              ];

Screenshots is a list, so this is valid.


Similarly, on a different package:

Configuration item 'upstream-metadata Registry' has a Load data structure
(perl) error:
        load_data called with non scalar arg
$wrong data = [
                {
                  'Entry' => 'r-gsignal',
                  'Name' => 'conda:conda-forge'
                }
              ];


Which also seems valid.

This behaviour seems to have started with a recent update.

Thanks,
Andrew McMillan
