Bug#808875: debian-installer: Perl transition

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Source: debian-installer
Severity: serious
Justification: BD-Uninstallable etc.

[ Please keep debian-perl@ and debian-release@ in the loop. ]

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that debian-installer still can't be built
since a few packages are missing. In my devel chroot, after a
dist-upgrade, I had to rebuild the following packages to make
debiandoc-sgml installable:
  debiandoc-sgml
  libhtml-parser-perl
  libhtml-tagset-perl
  libroman-perl
  libtext-format-perl

I've seen at least one of them getting a binNMU so I thought I'd cc
perl and release teams…

In addition, one can see that kind of warnings during the build now:
| Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;
| marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE BOOTPROMPT}\n?$/ at
| util/bootvars-subst line 13.

so one has to make sure how much d-i is affected by this transition.


Mraw,
KiBi.
