Bug#479318: does not work with perl 5.10.x
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.47
Severity: grave
Here is what I get today, after an upgrade to perl 5.10.x, running
lintian on a *.changes file:
$ lintian ocaml-res_2.2.5-1_i386.changes
Can't use string ("1") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at
/usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 418, <IN> line 4.
internal error: cannot run menus check on package libres-ocaml-dev
N: Skipping check of binary package libres-ocaml-dev
Yesterday it was working properly. The changes file involved is
attached, though I doubt it is related at all to the problem.
An educated guess: either something in lintian needs to be ported to the
new perl, or lintian dependencies are wrong and need to be fixed to
avoid co-installability with latest perl.
... nevertheless, thanks for lintian! :)
Cheers.
