Bug#797600: lintian: FTBFS with perl 5.22 in experimental (MakeMaker changes)
Source: lintian
Version: 2.5.36.1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.22-transition makemaker-prefix
Tags: sid stretch
This package FTBFS with perl 5.22.0-2, which removed support for a long-
obsolete way of overriding PREFIX when calling 'make install' with
ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as described in the lintian tag
debian-rules-makemaker-prefix-is-deprecated[1] and the Debian Perl
policy[2]:

The fix is to use DESTDIR instead of PREFIX; please see the lintian
`description for examples. Alternatively, newer versions of debhelper
can automatically call make install with the correct arguments when
using the dh7 style rules files.
Note that lintian also FTBFS with perl 5.22 because of #788926 and
#787537.
This bug will become release critical nearer the time of the perl 5.22
migration, expected during the (northern hemisphere) summer.
Cheers,
Dominic.
