debhelper compilation on slink

[Colin Marquardt <colin.marquardt@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I´m trying to compile a new debhelper on a slink system (which in
turn I want to use to build lm_sensors -- it needs dh_link which
isn´t in my slink´s debhelper 1.1.24).

Here is what I get:

$ fakeroot debian/rules build
./dh_clean
        rm -f debian/substvars debian/postinst.debhelper debian/postrm.debhelper debian/preinst.debhelper debian/prerm.debhelper
        rm -rf debian/debhelper
        rm -f debian/files
        find . -type f -a \( -name \#\*\# -o -name \*\~ -o -name DEADJOE -o -name \*.orig -o -name \*.rej -o -name \*.bak -o -name .\*.orig -o -name .\*.rej -o -name .SUMS -o -name TAGS -o -name core -o \( -path \*/.deps/\* -a -name \*.P \) \) -exec rm -f {} \;
DH_VERSION=10 perl -MTest::Harness -e 'runtests grep { ! /CVS/ } @ARGV' t/*
t/dh_lin............Can't locate Test.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at t/dh_link line 2.

        Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
FAILED--1 test script could be run, alas--no output ever seen
make: *** [test] Error 2


There is no Test.pm anywhere on my system.

The dependencies mentioned at
http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/devel/debhelper.html
all seem to be met:

perl-5.004: Version: 5.004.04-7
fileutils (>= 3.16-4): Version: 3.16-5.3
file (>= 3.23-1): Version: 3.26-1

So maybe perl-5.004 isn´t enough? Bug-report?

Cheers,
  Colin
