Title:
  [SRU] "Can't locate lcovutil.pm" after updating to 2.0-1

Status in lcov package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lcov source package in Mantic:
  Confirmed
Status in lcov package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  lcov is completely unusable as it will always give the following error
  when lcov is executed.

  $ lcov --help
  Can't locate lcovutil.pm in @INC (you may need to install the lcovutil module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/lcov /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.36.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.36 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36 /usr/share/perl/5.36 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/bin/lcov line 102.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/lcov line 102.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * install lcov
   * execute "lcov --help"

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * There is no change in the code, it only installs a file which lcov
  expects at runtime. So, user should not see any change in the known
  behaviour.

  [ Other Info ]

   * There are few more changes apart from installing "lcovutil.pm".
   * Multi threading had to be disabled in the build, otherwise the tests during the build are failing. Debian has disabled the tests for this but it is better to keep the tests enabled. I have also sent the chane to Debian - https://salsa.debian.org/mckinstry/lcov/-/merge_requests/2
   * lcov also needs libcapture-tiny-perl and libdatetime-perl at run time. This has been done in Debian - https://salsa.debian.org/mckinstry/lcov/-/commit/1427b494b40c4e8e23055bd33b0625d341898456

  [ Original Bug Description ]

  The new lcov version is broken.
