[Bug 1818953] Re: Perl core dumping core on UBUNTU 19.04 by executing perl script

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

/usr/bin/mkrsrc: symbolic link to /opt/rsct/bin/mkrsrc

but that's not provided by ubuntu, is it?

In general, perl does work on ppc64le on ubuntu, as we execute thousands
of perl autopkgtests with every perl update, or any reverse dependency
update. You can see that perl was proven to be working normally on
ppc64le as recently as yesterday
http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/perl/disco/ppc64el

Is the third party tool incompatible with perl 5.28.1-4 in some ways?
and/or needs to be rebuild against newer perl ABI?

** Changed in: ubuntu
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Package changed: ubuntu => perl (Ubuntu)
