Bug Description

[ Impact ]

librdf-query-perl is almost unusable as rqsh will fail to run with the error:

$ rqsh
Can't locate Term/ReadKey.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Term::ReadKey module) (@INC entries checked: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.38.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.38.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.38 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.38 /usr/share/perl/5.38 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/bin/rqsh line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/rqsh line 14.

The error is because its missing one of the runtime dependencies.

[ Test Plan ]

1. install librdf-query-perl
2. execute rqsh

If the package is not fixed it will result in the above error.

With the fixed package we will reach the rqsh prompt:

$ rqsh
rqsh v1.0, RDF::Query v2.918

rqsh>

[ Where problems could occur ]

There is no change in code and it only fixes a runtime dependency and so imho, there is very little chance of any regression.

[ Other Info ]

It has already been fixed in Debian, so oracular will be fixed when it is synced from Debian.

It was a little tricky to confirm this one, given that the missing dependency (libterm-readkey-perl) is seeded by server and cloud-image (so the problem didn't immediately manifest in my test containers!), but yes, confirmed. Targetting to affected releases.

One question about the proposed fix: it's adding libterm-readkey-perl to Depends, when upstream have fixed this by adding it to Recommends. I suspect upstream is correct in that the "intent" of the package is to provide a library for querying RDF, and rqsh is (presumably?) a simple utility for experimenting with that facility, not the "primary" artifact of the package. In other words, there exist users that could happily install librdf-query-perl as a dependency of some Perl-based system, use it successfully, and never notice (or care) that rqsh doesn't work, and who don't want the overhead of its dependencies installed as well.

Still, given the additional dependency in this case is already seeded in server and cloud-image, this really feels like splitting hairs, and I'd much rather the package "just works" for users. So, sponsoring!
