• Salvaging libwww-mediawiki-client-perl - is there any WWW.pm module

    From Andreas Tille@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 23 11:00:01 2024
    Hi Perl team,

    today libwww-mediawiki-client-perl showed up as bug of the day and it
    might also fit the category low maintenance so why not keeping. I
    applied 7 patches from BTS. Unfortunately when following lintian to add debian/tests/pkg-perl/use-name I triggered an autopkgtest failure[1]
    that boils down to

    Can't locate WWW.pm in @INC (you may need to install the WWW module) (@INC entries checked: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.40.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.40.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.40 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
    perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.40 /usr/share/perl/5.40 /usr/local/lib/site_perl).

    I realised some Perl modules ship their own copy of WWW.pm but there
    is no such package I could sensibly depend from. Any idea what to do?

    Kind regards
    Andreas.

    Looks like you put WWW-Mediawiki-Client in
    debian/tests/pkg-perl/use-name, but that is not a perl module name
    which can be used as in -M"WWW-Mediawiki-Client

    With "echo WWW::Mediawiki::Client > debian/tests/pkg-perl/use-name"
    this should look better :)


    Cheers,
    gregor
