Bug#770336: rsyslog: missing dependency on libfile-path-perl in *rm script when removing the package

[Ondřej Surý]

Control: reassign -1 init-system-helpers
Control: notfound -1 rsyslog/8.4.2-1
Control: found -1 init-system-helpers/1.21

On second look the bug comes from deb-systemd-helper:

# deb-systemd-helper 
Can't locate File/Path.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
File::Path module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper line 85.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper line
85.

Cheers,
Ondrej
