[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#1078047: request-tracker4: FTBFS with Perl 5.40: Attempt to call undefined import method with arguments

[Niko Tyni]

Source: request-tracker4
Version: 4.4.7+dfsg-1.1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.40-transition
Tags: fixed-upstream

This package fails to build from source with Perl 5.40 (currently in
experimental.)

I assume adapting the trivial RT5 upstream fix is enough, see

  https://github.com/bestpractical/rt/commit/5b9c371b192121c8c28136176fd4e78ee89d647c
