Hello guys.
I am trying to compile samba from git repository, branch v4-5-stable, and I got
this error during ./configure
Checking for perl $Config{vendorprefix}:
: '/usr'
PERL_ARCH_INSTALL_DIR:
: '${LIBDIR}/perl5'
PERL_LIB_INSTALL_DIR:
: '${DATADIR}/perl5'

perl_inc.remove('.')
ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list
Seems like it is trying to remove a value which is not in the list ?
This happened during PERL environment setup.
So I tried removing the line 52 on the file
perl_inc.remove('.')
and it just worked.
I haven't installed yet, but as the compile error didn't spit any error,
I am guessing the PERL environment was found and compilation worked.
My environment is a GNU/Linux debian 9 testing with nothing else installed, did
a netinstall.
I did check
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Operating_system_requirements/Dependencies_-_Libraries_and_programs
and installed all the dependencies.
Should I open a bug ?
Can someone advise on that please ?
Thanks a lot
