<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Exception::Class was added as a dependency. Debian 8’s default is 1.38 and
not the minimum required of 1.39.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From the Changes file:</DIV>
<DIV>1.40 2016-01-29</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- Fixed broken metadata. Reported by Slaven Rezić. GitHub #3.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1.39 2014-11-01</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- Replaced the Exception::Class::Base->NoRefs method with
UnsafeRefCapture to</DIV>
<DIV> match changes in Devel::StackTrace 2.00. The old method is
deprecated but</DIV>
<DIV> will continue to work.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1.38 2014-05-05</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- An exception without a message will now default to either the
associated</DIV>
<DIV> exception class description or the string "[Generic exception]".
Patch by</DIV>
<DIV> Ricardo Signes. PR #2.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- Added field_hash() and context_hash() methods. Patch by Ricardo Signes.
PR</DIV>
<DIV> #1.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So the question is: Could we either (1) package up 1.40 or (2) lower the
required version? I’d prefer to make underlying scariness less visible to the
user who may wander to the About –> Perl Modules page.</DIV>
