Title:
  squid3 FTBFS due to missing --name arg to pod2man

Status in Squid:
  Unknown
Status in squid3 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  squid3 fails with:

  dh_install -psquid3 --sourcedir=/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/tmp
  cp: cannot stat '/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man8/basic_db_auth.8': No such file or directory
  dh_install: cp --reflink=auto -a /«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man8/basic_db_auth.8 debian/squid3//usr/share/man/man8/ returned exit code 1
  make: *** [binary-install/squid3] Error 2
  /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk:213: recipe for target 'binary-install/squid3' failed

  caused by helpers/auth_basic/DB/config.test failure during configure
  phase, which filters out the DB basic auth.

  The error in config.test is caused by a missing --name argument to
  pod2man:

  IO::File=IO(0x24d5e30) around line 1: No name given for document
  POD document had syntax errors at /usr/bin/pod2man line 71.

  This also affects helpers/external_acl/SQL_session/config.test and
  helpers/log_daemon/DB/config.test

  
  Cause
  =====
  Since Perl 5.20.2-4 pod2man behavior changed for pipes and now the --name parameter must be included (or --errors set to 'pod', 'stderr', or 'none'). As per  Debian [1] and pod2man change log page [2]:

  "[Pod::Man] Attempt to detect if the input came from a pipe and
  therefore has a completely unhelpful (and nonreproducible) source file
  name, and diagnose this as an error. Document that the name option
  (--name to pod2man) is required when processing POD source from
  standard input. (Debian Bug#777405)"
