    Control: affects -1 + src:perl

    Hi, please consider pre-approving the attached src:perl cross build fix
    for sid + trixie, versioned as 5.40.1-6.

    Cross building src:perl regressed with the CVE-2025-40909 changes
    in perl_5.40.1-4, as I didn't think of updating the required support
    files. See #1109972 for details.

    These files are not used at all for native builds, so regressions seem
    very improbable.

    I have tested that this fixes cross building perl for armhf and armel
    on amd64.

    Apologies for missing this earlier. I'm not quite sure if this still
    qualifies, but figured I'd ask anyway. We can also postpone this for
    a stable update if you prefer that, or leave trixie unfixed if we don't
    care about cross building in stable.

    Thanks for your work on the release,

    It's quite late, so I'm not sure we'll be able to get this into trixie in
    time, but I don't think there's much harm in uploading this to unstable and seeing if we have enough time to get it in.

    With that in mind, please go ahead with the upload and remove the moreinfo tag from this unblock request once the new upload has been in unstable for a few days, and you think it's ready to migrate.

    Note that the upload would have to happen very soon to have any chance to migrate to trixie.

    Thanks,

    Ivo
