Description Andrew Church 2008-08-22 05:52:50 UTC

app-arch/dpkg-1.14.19 requires the Perl Date::Parse module, in dev-perl/TimeDate, when building a .deb package file.  Without dev-perl/TimeDate installed:

$ dpkg-gencontrol
Can't locate Date/Parse.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Dpkg/Changelog/Debian.pm line 66.

Thanks for reporting :-)
I added dev-perl/TimeDate to RDEPEND as it's needed at runtime as you have noticed.

Fixed in CVS.
