I believe the availability of Perl's special variables has changed
inside the 'any' loop here:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/blob/2.104.0/checks/fields/package-relations.pm#L129

It is legacy code that was already updated to lexical variables in our
development version. Here is the current code:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/blob/master/checks/fields/package-relations.pm#L159

and this is the commit that changed it:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/6ba668bbeb19e6f3218738e2e949e4f7bb656ac5

Could one of you please try Lintian's development version?

    git clone https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian.git
    cd lintian
    ./bin/lintian ...

Thanks!

Kind regards
