[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#506488: request-tracker3.8: fails to compile in Mason

[Antoine Beaupre]

Package: request-tracker3.8
Version: 3.8.1-1~experimental1~bpo40+1
Severity: important

So another issue we ran into was this:

The following parameter was passed in the call to HTML::Mason::CGIHandler->new() but was not listed in the validation options: named_component_subs
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/request-tracker3.8/libexec/mason_handler.fcgi line 55.

This obviously keeps the UI from working and, running through FastCGI, yields a 500 error.

We have made the following patch to work around the issue:

With this, the FastCGI server starts properly.
