The author has replied saying that they were not the same report. It's a shell script he runs regularly to update his system, something like: "cpanm-outdated|cpanm;cpanm-reporter". So it's the same system, the same perl, the same failures, but not the same run. Once CPAN::Testers::Common::Client is able to read/write history files like CPAN::Reporter does, the issue should go away. Meanwhile, I'd think of them just like Karen does: the tester is repeatedly trying to install the dist, and sending an angst report each time it fails. Sorry if this is causing trouble or confusion. Cheers!
