to test patch...

 1/ build koha package from souce, install package

 2/ test plack, see following error...

   Error while loading /etc/koha/plack.psgi: Can't locate CGI/Emulate/PSGI.pm
   in @INC (you may need to install the CGI::Emulate::PSGI module)

 3/ apply patch

 4/ build koha package from souce, install package

 5/ test plack, see no error and observe plack is working

aah, false alarm... 

# aptitude why  libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl
i   koha-common   Depends    starman
i A starman       Depends    libplack-perl
i A libplack-perl Recommends libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl

That still seems like a problem to me? If it's not in the PerlDependencies.pm, then any non-package install will run into dependency problems?

Reopening:
% aptitude why libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl
Unable to find a reason to install libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl.

% more /etc/debian_version
8.10


With 9.1 I get:
% aptitude why libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl
i   libplack-middleware-fixmissingbodyinredirect-perl Depends    libplack-perl
i A libplack-perl                                     Recommends libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl
Comment 5 Jonathan Druart 2018-05-03 13:51:15 UTC
From Magnuse on IRC, Ubuntu 16.04 returns:

i   libcgi-compile-perl Recommends libcgi-emulate-psgi-per
Comment 6 Mirko Tietgen 2018-05-15 11:09:00 UTC
Mason: What OS did you install on, and does it have special apt configuration? The package is recommended by a dependency, it should be installed unless you changed the apt config to ignore recommended packages.

Jonathan: Is Koha actually installed on the 8.10 system you tried? I get on 8.10

>aptitude why libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl
>i   koha-common   Depends    starman                 
>i A starman       Depends    libplack-perl           
>i A libplack-perl Recommends libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl

Anyway, recommended packages are installed by default in Debian. This can be disabled though, eg. if you are very low on disk space. If Koha relies on libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl to work, it should be a direct dependency.

The patch is not the way to do it. CGI::Emulate::PSGI should added to PerlDependencies.pm instead and I will add an updated control file.

Plack is a dependency of starman, both for Debian packages and on CPAN, adding Plack to PerlDependencies.pm is not necessary.

I chose the version number available in Jessie.

Not really anything to test here, forwarding to QA. Take a look at the first patch to see it makes sense, you can see the effect in the second patch.
