[Bug 674965] Re: libfile-changenotify-perl should depend on liblinux-inotify2-perl

 

** Description changed:

  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.
+ Example: Running `perl -MFile::ChangeNotify::Watcher::Inotify -e 1` in
+ the console should work (silently); 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.
