Bug#909698: rakudo: perl6-tap-harness fails to configure: Could not open /usr/share/perl6/install-dist.p6. Failed to stat file: no such file or directory

[Axel Beckert]

Package: rakudo
Version: 2018.09-1
Severity: serious
Control: affects -1 perl6-tap-harness

Hi,

perl6-tap-harness fails to install for me as follows on a Raspberry Pi
with Debian Sid armhf:

[…]
Setting up perl6-tap-harness (0.20180415-1) ...
Could not open /usr/share/perl6/install-dist.p6. Failed to stat file: no such file or directory
module perl6-tap-harness compilation failed: 256 at /usr/share/perl6/rakudo-helper.pl line 44.
dpkg: error processing package perl6-tap-harness (--configure):
 installed perl6-tap-harness package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
[…]
Errors were encountered while processing:
 perl6-tap-harness

The file /usr/share/perl6/install-dist.p6 does not neither exist on
that installation nor does it belong to any installed package.

Also "apt-file search /usr/share/perl6/install-dist.p6" doesn't find
that file, neither on Debian Sid armhf nor on Debian Sid amd64.

Funnily I have perl6-tap-harness successfully installed on amd64
despite I can't find  /usr/share/perl6/install-dist.p6 there either.

Reason for this is probably the switch from
/usr/share/perl6/install-dist.pl to
/usr/share/perl6/tools/install-dist.p6 between 2018.06-1 and
2018.09-1. Please note that this path contains "tools" while the error
message doesn't have "tools" in the path.

Since it's /usr/share/perl6/rakudo-helper.pl which contains that
erroneous path, the issue is not in perl6-tap-harness but in rakudo.
