• Bug#1102913: libgrokj2k add libperl-dev to Build-Depends

    From Helmut Grohne@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 13 08:20:01 2025
    Source: libgrokj2k
    Version: 10.0.5-1
    User: helmutg@debian.org
    Usertags: libcrypt-libperll-dev

    libgrokj2k embeds a Perl interpreter in ./src/lib/codec/common/exif.cpp.
    The development package required for doing so is libperl-dev. It happens
    to work by chance now, but as we are looking into removing libcrypt-dev
    from the build-essential package set[1], libgrokj2k will fail to build
    from source if it lacks this dependency. The actual dropping of
    libcrypt-dev from build-essential is not going to happen during the
    trixie freeze but some months into the forky cycle. The addition of
    libperl-dev to Build-Depends is safe for inclusion into trixie, but it
    does not warrant an upload of its own.
