Missing dependency on libfile-copy-recursive-perl in Xenial

[Neil Wilson]

Got the error:

Can't locate File/Copy/Recursive.pm in @INC (you may need to install the File::Copy::Recursive module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22 /usr/share/perl/5.22 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base .) at /usr/bin/mylvmbackup line 25.

this is corrected by manualling installing the package libfile-copy-recursive-perl

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I haven't reproduced this issue personally, but I found a corresponding Debian bug report with the exact same error message.

As mentioned by the bug watch, libfile-copy-recursive-perl has been added as a dependency of mylvmbackup 0.15-1.1 which is available in Ubuntu Zesty (see http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/mylvmbackup for details). I'm therefor marking this as Fix Released.

Since this is a quite significant bug for this package and the patch to fix it is rather small, it should be easy to get an SRU [1] for older Ubuntu releases. Let me know if anyone is interested and I can help prepare patches for 16.04 and 16.10 :)
