Summary0003420: Missing package dependency for PBNJ
Description

There is a missing dependency for PBNJ when installing it via apt. PBNJ also requires libshell-perl for it to work. Libshell-perl allows Perl scripts to run OS commands, which is a core function of PBNJ. This should be resolvable by adding libshell-perl as a dependency for PBNJ.

Steps To Reproduce

root@kali # apt-get install pbnj
( accept dependencies and install )
root@kali # scanpbnj
Can't locate Shell.pm in @INC .... blah, blah, blah ...
Begin failed--compilation aborted at /user/bin/scanbnj line 26.

To fix:
root@kali # apt-get install libshell-perl
( installs )
root@kali # scanpbnj

Thanks for the report, I forwarded it to Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/831737

But I'm not going to fix this in Kali. We'll get the fix from Debian when it's there (although it seems more likely that the package will be removed from Debian as the current maintainer seems to have disappeared).
