Description Stew Benedict 2012-08-11 14:29:03 CEST
I suspect this will end up as a WONTFIX, but I'll post anyway to get a statement from the maintainer. We know that upstream perl has deprecated/re-organized/removed some modules, and LSB has also deprecated, but as LSB is a trailing standard and moves considerably slower than the distros do, we're already seeing the modules disappear and tests fail. Some other distros have replied more or less with "we don't care", but it would be nice to ship the old modules to maintain compatibility. Since I maintain the lsb packages I could just add a requires, but then LSB just wouldn't be installable.

Tests that are failing on yesterday's cauldron run:

Locale::Constants, Locale::Maketext, Shell

Full list of modules LSB has deprecated (but wouldn't go away until lsb-5.0+, whenever that might be (5.0 will probably hit in 2013)):

CGI::Switch 
Class::ISA
Devel::DProf
Pod::Plainer
Shell

Locale::Maketext is already provided in perl-Locale-Maketext

Locale::Constants has not been updated on cpan since 2003 - and it isn't shipped in its own dist, it seems to be shipped as part of perl_mlb, with a full copy of perl. i'll definitely not package it...

Shell is on its way, will be available in perl-Shell

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
