flickr_upload can't locate object method "sign_args" via package "Flickr::Upload"

[Jay Berkenbilt]

When I run

$ flickr_upload --tag qtest x0.jpg

I get the error:

Uploading x0.jpg...Can't locate object method "sign_args" via package "Flickr::Upload" at /usr/share/perl5/Flickr/Upload.pm line 234.

The following super-obvious patch resolves the issue. I'm not sure how/why this is needed. Perhaps the versions of libflickr-upload-perl and libflickr-api-perl are out of sync? Maybe the API package changed sign_args to _sign_args to emphasize that it is an internal function.

I verified that this problem does not occur with the version of the package from xenial. If I download that manually and install it, everything works fine with the other versions from wily. So this problem only affects the wily version and has already been corrected upstream and in xenial.

Willy is no longer supported and the issue was fixed in xenial (per OP). Thus, marking this bug accordingly.
