Bug Description

Steps taken:
* from zoneminder screen: Options, Upload, set UPLOAD_PROTOCOL to sftp
* set up a valid server/account details
* go to an existing event filter and enable uploading of events that match this filter

Expected result:
* events are uploaded to the entered server

Actual result:
* error log entries appear in zoneminder's log database: "2012-05-31 13:50:51.325650 zmdc 6149 ERR 'zmfilter.pl ' exited abnormally, exit status 9 zmdc.pl"
* running zmfilter.pl gives the following output:
Name "Net::SFTP::Foreign::debug" used only once: possible typo at /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl line 812.
Can't locate Net/SFTP/Foreign.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl line 78.

I conclude that zoneminder is missing a dependency on the "libnet-sftp-foreign-perl" package.

Uploaded, though I did have to fix the version number. Charlie's hint wasn't right either.

To quote the packaging guide(http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/debian-dir-overview.html#the-changelog):

"If a Debian package has been changed in Ubuntu, it has ubuntuX (where X is the Ubuntu revision number) appended to the end of the Debian version. So if the Debian hello 2.6-1 package was changed by Ubuntu, the version string would be 2.6-1ubuntu1. If a package for the application does not exist in Debian, then the Debian revision is 0 (e.g. 2.6-0ubuntu1)."

So in this case, the version in Debian is 1.25.0-1.1 so the changed Ubuntu version is 1.25.0-1.1ubuntu1.

You also need to remember to update the maintainer filed (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField). The "update-maintainer" script in ubuntu-dev-tolls is helpful with this.

This looks like something that might apply to Debian as well. For extra points, you might want to confirm that and forward the patch. Take a look at the "submittodebian" script in ubuntu-dev-tools.

Thanks for your work on this!
