Missing dependency to libtime-modules-perl

[Ralf Doering]

Binary package hint: backuppc

The script "/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary" contains a "use Time::ParseDate;", but backuppc package does not declare a dependency to libtime-modules-perl, which contains Time::ParseDate. If one calls this script it fails with

Can't locate Time/ParseDate.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/backuppc/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary line 44.

I attach a debiff with solution.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if its that simple like adding libtime-modules-perl to debian/control. Remember, backuppc is in main, libtime-modules-perl is in universe...

[Angel Abad (angelabad)]

Yes, is true, I filled a MIR bug for libtime-modules-perl inclusion in main:

Thanks!

Until the bug is fixed, I'll unsubscribe the sponsors team - please resubscribe when ready.

How do I reproduce the error?

[Angel Abad (angelabad)]

You can reproduce it with:

$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary

Thanks!

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

I am able to confirm this issue under older versions like Hardy too (3.0.0-4ubuntu1.1).

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Changed debian/changelog entry:
 - lucid → maverick
 - mentioned that the change was forwarded

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package backuppc - 3.1.0-9ubuntu2

---------------
backuppc (3.1.0-9ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Add libtime-modules-perl to Depends (LP: #525395)
    Forwarded to Debian as b.d.o/570843
