[Bug 2002426] Re: Drop libfeature-compat-try-perl & libfeature-compat-class-perl dependencies (wrappers)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package licensecheck - 3.3.5-1ubuntu1

licensecheck (3.3.5-1ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium

  * Avoid Feature::Compat::Try/Class wrappers (LP: #2002426)
    libfeature-compat-try-perl and libfeature-compat-class-perl are wrappers
    around (experimental) perl features, which allow falling back to an
    external perl module if those features are not yet available.
    In Ubuntu we want to avoid promoting those wrappers to "main", so we'll
    make use of the fallback by default, until those features are available
    in (non-experimental) perl.

Bug description:
  Drop libfeature-compat-try-perl & libfeature-compat-class-perl
  dependencies, to avoid doing additional MIRs for those (temporary)
  compat wrappers. Use the fallback options, until available in core
  perl.

  
  We should probably patch licensecheck to make use of the fallback variants, instead of processing intermediary MIRs for the "libfeature-compat-*-perl" wrappers. Keep the delta until those features are available in (non-experimenal) core perl.

  libfeature-compat-try-perl => libsyntax-keyword-try-perl (>= 0.27) [in "main" already]
   * experimenal availibility as of perl core 5.35.8:
     https://metacpan.org/release/PEVANS/Feature-Compat-Try-0.05/source/lib/Feature/Compat/Try.pm

  libfeature-compat-class-perl => libobject-pad-perl (>= 0.75) [in "main" already]
   * currently under development:
     https://metacpan.org/release/PEVANS/Feature-Compat-Class-0.04/source/lib/Feature/Compat/Class.pm
