Bug#983099: perl FTCBFS: cross configs outdated
Source: perl
Version: 5.32.1-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-release@lists.debian.org
User: debian-cross@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftcbfs
perl currently fails to cross build from source, due to a minor version
bump. Whenever the version is updated, the cross compilation configs
need to be updated and this didn't happen for perl.
Such temporary ftcbfs are usual for perl. What makes this worthy of
reporting is that this version will end up in bullseye. There are a
number of embedded distributions now that are based on Debian and due to
perl's central role to Debian it should be cross buildable in stable.
The risk of breaking anything by fixing this bug is quite low as these
cross configs are used for nothing but cross building perl and updating
them is a routine task to Niko. I've Cced d-release in case they want to
object now before Niko files an unblock request.
