Arch Linux

Description:
Build fails on an updated system for the ABS PKGBUILD. This happens due to the updates Perl packages that breaks the texi2pod script int he tarball.

Even though Perl happens to cause make to fail, the problem is actually supposed to be a warning, not an error. And running make a second time works just fine.

I have reported this issue upstream too but it seems unlikely that it will be patched soon since most of them are not facing this issue, yet. Could we maybe help them in patching it?

One solution is to substitute the make command in the PKGBUILD with "make || make". Forcing make to run a second time which will end successfully.

Additional info:
* Wget 1.14
* Relevant Output:
