Bug Description

EG 3.11

I think the work around to allow the Fake ISBN's that B&T creates for AV material has stopped working at some point.

See bug #1559281 Added Content: Allow fake ISBNs to be sent to providers

The fix there was to add these lines

# Hack country_data to allow B&T fake ISBNs LP#1559281
$Business::ISBN::country_data{630} = ['B&T' => ['0000000' => '9999999']];
$Business::ISBN::country_data{631} = ['B&T' => ['0000000' => '9999999']];

It looks to me like 630 and 631 how now been assigned to countries (Romania and Argentina). So that may explain why it no longer works. Or it could just be that the internals changed so the work around needs to be updated.

It worked on Debian 8.11
opensrf@virt-egutil1:~/temp$ dpkg -l |fgrep libbusiness-isbn
ii libbusiness-isbn-data-perl 20140910.002-2 all data pack for Business::ISBN
ii libbusiness-isbn-perl 2.09-1 all Perl library to work with International Standard Book Numbers

Doesn't seem to work on Debian 11.9
opensrf@virt-egdev2:~/temp$ dpkg -l |fgrep libbusiness-isbn
ii libbusiness-isbn-data-perl 20210112.001-1 all data pack for Business::ISBN
ii libbusiness-isbn-perl 3.006-1 all Perl library to work with International Standard Book Numbers

Also, B&T seems to not be able to supply as many DVD titles to us anymore, so the problem is fairly minor for us and may not be worth looking into or fixing at this point.
