Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libfile-changenotify-perl

This bug report is for libfile-changenotify-perl version 0.12-1 in Lucid
Lynx.

Expected: The module File::ChangeNotify::Watcher::Inotify, which is
provided by /usr/share/perl5/File/ChangeNotify/Watcher/Inotify.pm from
package libfile-changenotify-perl, should load.

Instead: Using the module does not work.
File::ChangeNotify::Watcher::Inotify requires Linux::Inotify2 version
1.2 or higher, while liblinux-inotify2-perl only provides version 1.1.
Furthermore (and possibly this should be a separate bug report) the
libfile-changenotify-perl package does not depend on the liblinux-
inotify2-perl package.

Example: Running `perl -MFile::ChangeNotify::Watcher::Inotify -e 1`
should print "1" in the console; instead, we get the usual "BEGIN failed
--compilation aborted" message.

This bug is especially noteworthy because it will cause Catalyst
projects to fail horribly when trying to start the built-in webserver,
for the same reasons.

** Affects: libfile-changenotify-perl (Ubuntu)
