Not sure how much we care about hppa architecture.
As described in the 'perlembed' document, programs embedding Perl must use the PERL_SYS_INIT3() and PERL_SYS_TERM() macros to provide system-specific tune up of the C runtime environment necessary to run Perl interpreters.
Your package has been identified as failing this:
- at least one of the binary packages built from the source depends on libperl5.10
- the unpacked source matches 'perl_parse' but not 'PERL_SYS_INIT3'
As a consequence, the embedded Perl interpreter is most probably broken on the hppa architecture, where PERL_SYS_INIT3() is needed for initializing lock structures. Without this, calling perl_parse() will hang inside pthread_mutex_lock(). See #486069 for more information.
