Hello,

I'm trying to update a really old Debian package (safe-hole-perl) because of bug
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=965811.

It uses Module::Build and is a XS module.

Error message on build:

dh binary
dh_testroot
dh_prep
dh_auto_install
perl Build install --destdir /var/tmp/debaux-racke/safe-hole-perl/safe-hole-perl-0.14/debian/libsafe-hole-perl
--create_packlist 0

debian/rules is the boilerplate one:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
dh $@

Any clue how to provide the install path?

Regards
Racke

safe-hole-perl builds fine on my side (albeit with some warnings):

I guess that some build dependencies are missing on your side, may be libgcc-9-dev...

Hope this helps

At a guess, the problem is related to the fact your perl is a perlbrew
one (see the install path above).

Does it work if you arrange for the perl in your path to be /usr/bin/perl?

This smells like a bug in debhelper to me - perl policy says that perl
should be /usr/bin/perl in shebangs, and I think the same should apply
here. I'm amazed this hasn't bit us before, if I'm right (it's been like
this since at least 2009, and probably forever).

Yes, that was the problem. After "perlbrew off" it works as expected. It is an old problem indeed.

Thanks a lot (to Dominique as well) for the quick answer.

Racke
