Package: rakudo
Version: 2020.02.1-1
Severity: serious

Dear Maintainer,

/usr/share/perl6/rakudo-helper.pl uses autodie and system(), which
requires IPC::System::Simple, causing the following error when
installing or upgrading the package:

Setting up rakudo (2020.02.1-1) ...
IPC::System::Simple required for Fatalised/autodying system() at /usr/share/perl6/rakudo-helper.pl line 20.
        main::BEGIN() called at /usr/share/perl6/rakudo-helper.pl line 20
        eval {...} called at /usr/share/perl6/rakudo-helper.pl line 20
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl6/rakudo-helper.pl line 20.
dpkg: error processing package rakudo (--configure):
installed rakudo package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2

Manually installing libipc-system-simple-perl allows the upgrade to proceed.

  the mainstream press' sense at least.               - Matt McLeod
- That'd be because the content of a tweet is easier to condense down
  to a mainstream media article.                      - Calle Dybedahl
