Bug Description

Binary package hint: libnet-pcap-perl

This bug was sent manually, but the text was written to a template, as I have several similar bugs to report today. Please see my recent bug reports for a list, or bug #391165 for the root cause.

Version 0.16-1 of libnet-pcap-perl has a missing line-end comma in the "Build-Dependencies" section of debian/control. There should be a comma in the area marked by ***asterisks***:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), perl (>= 5.8), libpcap0.8-dev***
 ***libtest-pod-perl

This appears to have been fixed in Karmic, but you may wish to consider releasing a bugfix in Jaunty.

I haven't tested the exact effects of this issue in libnet-pcap-perl. It might be that these dependencies are unnecessary and can be removed, or it might be that some features are silently disabled (see bug #365770 for an example). If the dependencies should stay, the bug can be fixed by inserting a comma in the marked area.

As you say, it's fixed in Karmic already. I don't think it's necessary to fix Jaunty for this; it just means that tests don't get run at build time, which is annoying but not grounds for a stable release update.
