Package: texinfo
Version: 7.2-4
Severity: important
Tags: forky sid patch
User: debian-perl@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.42-transition

This package fails its autopkgtest checks with Perl 5.42 (currently
in experimental.)

  https://ci.debian.net/packages/t/texinfo/unstable/amd64/64021463/

    Testsuite summary for GNU Texinfo 7.2
    ============================================================================
    # TOTAL: 125
    # PASS:  7
    # SKIP:  40
    # XFAIL: 0
    # FAIL:  78
    # XPASS: 0
    # ERROR: 0

I managed to reproduce this locally, and the reason is these new warnings:

  Possible precedence problem between ! and string eq at ../../tp/Texinfo/Convert/Converter.pm line 389.
  Possible precedence problem between ! and string eq at ../../tp/Texinfo/Convert/LaTeX.pm line 1088.

Patch attached, this fixes it for me.

If you want to test changes against Perl 5.42 in experimental and run
into uninstallability problems, there is a test repository of rebuilt
Debian sid packages for amd64 available at <https://perl.debian.net/>.
