Package: librdf-aref-perl Version: 0.27-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, I figured you might use an explanation of the recent breakage of this package. First of all, it has been reported upstream, but there has been no action: https://github.com/nichtich/RDF-aREF/issues/21 The root cause is that librdf-ns-perl is based on a crowd-sourced database, and sometimes crowd-sourced things change. The occasional breakage is usually a small price to pay for access to the large, crowdsourced database, but for a stable environment, like Debian, it can cause some headaches. The breakage seen in this package is directly due to that a prefix has changed in the crowdsourced database, and only upstream can really fix that. Changing the test should be upstream's call, as it may alter the meaning of the code. Probably the best solution that you can do is fixate the tests on a database from the past.
