Description Julian Maurice 2021-05-07 15:57:32 UTC
CGI::Compile 0.24 has a bug:
https://github.com/miyagawa/CGI-Compile/issues/25

It can cause weird bugs, like breaking the authority detail display after trying to modify an authority.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install CGI::Compile 0.24
2. Restart starman with only 1 worker
3. Go to the detail page of an authority (authorities/detail.pl)
4. Go to the edit page (Edit » Edit record)
5. Check starman logs, you should see "Subroutine build_tabs redefined at [...]"
6. Click on cancel to go back to the detail page, which should now show a "blank" authority. Now the only way to get the authority back is to restart starman.

I suggest to just forbid CGI::Compile 0.24 in cpanfile (patch coming soon)

Warning for Ubuntu Focal users: the packaged version of CGI::Compile is 0.24

CGI::Compile 0.24 has a bug:
https://github.com/miyagawa/CGI-Compile/issues/25

It can cause weird bugs, like breaking the authority detail display
after trying to modify an authority.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install CGI::Compile 0.24
2. Restart starman with only 1 worker
3. Go to the detail page of an authority (authorities/detail.pl)
4. Go to the edit page (Edit » Edit record)

a "blank" authority. Now the only way to get the authority back is to

Test plan:
1. Reproduce the bug
2. Install CGI::Compile 0.25 and restart starman
3. Make sure the bug is gone :)

Yikes...

According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libcgi-compile-perl&searchon=names, the only bad one is focal 20.04. 

I'll raise an issue with Ubuntu.

I don't think forbidding CGI::Compile 0.24 is going to be practical for Koha users.
Comment 4 David Cook 2021-05-10 23:29:59 UTC
So... I think that it would be OK to sign this off.

For Ubuntu Focal, we should package CGI::Compile 0.25. That doesn't need to happen in the Koha codebase, so it's not a blocker here.

Comment 6 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2021-05-13 20:50:33 UTC
It works :)
about.pl shows as expected that 0.24 is forbidden

0.24 vs 0.25 give the expected authority test results and logs.
Comment 7 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2021-05-13 20:53:22 UTC
Test notes:
install version 0.24:

cpanm RKITOVER/CGI-Compile-0.24.tar.gz

remove version from package manager without removing dependencies and packages whose CGI::Compile is a dep (basically uninstalls all Koha stuff)

sudo dpkg -r --force-depends libcgi-compile-perl

Bug 28302: Update packages to ignore CGI::Compile 0.24 (2)

Was that the right choice?

Shouldn't it have been added to PerlDependencies then?
