Missing package "Proc::ProcessTable" is in debian: libproc-processtable-perl

[Henning Hollermann]

I just tried to install the latest media-build-package via git. I got an
error because of a missing package, but the script could not provide a
hint about the name of the missing package. One quick search made clear,
that it was perl's ProcessTable package, which was missing. This is
named "libproc-processtable-perl" in debian, so you could add this as hint.

Cheers,
Henning

---------------------
What i did and uname:

~$ git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git

~$ cd media_build

~/media_build$ ./build.sh
Checking if the needed tools are present
./check_needs.pl
ERROR: please install "Proc::ProcessTable", otherwise, build won't work.
I don't know distro . So, I can't provide you a hint with the package names.
Be welcome to contribute with a patch for media-build, by submitting a
distro-specific hint
to linux-media@vger.kernel.org
Build can't procceed as 1 dependency is missing at ./check_needs.pl line
132.

There are some functions there that tries to detect the distribution used.
Currently, it parses Fedora, RHEL and Ubuntu. From the above, it seems
that the requirements for Debian are the same as the ones for Ubuntu.


This is the requirements for Ubuntu:

		"lsdiff"		=> "patchutils",
		"Digest::SHA1"		=> "libdigest-sha1-perl",
		"Proc::ProcessTable"	=> "libproc-processtable-perl",

Could you please double check if all of them also applies for Debian?

If so, then probably the enclosed patch will do the job. Could you
please test it as well?

Thanks,
Mauro
