Bug#366481: lintian: Can't locate common_data.pm in @INC

["Nelson A. de Oliveira" <naoliv@gmail.com>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.20
Severity: important

Hi!

Today I have downloaded lintian 1.23.20 from incoming and installed it
with dpkg -i.

Trying to test it with some packages, I've got:

$ lintian qsf_1.1.7-1_i386.deb 
Can't locate common_data.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/lintian/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 25.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 25.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/lintian/lib/Checker.pm line 63.

$ lintian optipng_0.5.2-1_i386.deb
Can't locate common_data.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/lintian/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 25.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 25.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/lintian/lib/Checker.pm line 63.

So, the problem is not on the package, but on Lintian (I think).

Running lintian on the .changes file works without problems.

I am not sending this to the BTS because I don't know if it's really a
bug, or I did something wrong when installing.
Please, CC me with any answers.

Thank you!
Nelson
