[Popcon-developers] Bug#855617: Bug#855617: popularity-contest: /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest can't locate strict.pm

[Martin Dosch]

Hello Bill,

actually I haven't installed an alternative version of perl (at least
I'm not aware of) and the path where the files are located fits the
official debian package of perl base:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/perl-base/filelist
If popcon expects a different perl package with files located somewhere
else the dependencies should be fixed.

> apt list -a perl-base
> Listing... Done
> perl-base/testing,unstable,now 5.24.1-1 amd64 [installed]

Obviously it's due to my UMASK of 077 cause this wouldn't allow
nobody:nogroup to access it.
But shouldn't debian packages installed via apt/dpkg manage the access
rights regardless of UMASK?

Best wishes,
Martin
