Pkg xen devel - Aug 2013 - Bug#719506: xen: FTBFS with perl 5.18: POD errors

Source: xen
Version: 4.2.2-1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.18-transition

This package FTBFS with perl 5.18 (which will soon be uploaded to
unstable) owing to a stricter pod2man:

pod2text man/xl.pod.1 txt/man/xl.1.txt.tmp
man/xl.pod.1 around line 854: Expected text after =item, not a bullet
POD document had syntax errors at /usr/bin/pod2text line 84.
make[4]: *** [txt/man/xl.1.txt] Error 255
make[4]: Leaving directory `/build/dom-xen_4.2.2-1-i386-N3d2cV/xen-4.2.2/debian/
build/build-docs/docs'
make[3]: *** [txt] Error 2

This is also the lintian warning:
<http://lintian.debian.org/tags/manpage-has-errors-from-pod2man.html>

Thanks,
Dominic.

I think this upstream patch ought to fix this.
