I've applied this patch in git now, and comfirmed that the tests pass
in both unstable and experimental.

I'm not 100% sure that this workaround is the correct solution, so
I'm holding off with an upload for a bit in case there are comments.


Cheers,
gregor

What about an upload to experimental?

Regards, Axel

I'm not sure how this would help. The patch fixes the bug by skipping
a test under 5.22; this works. I'm just not sure if this is the right
way to go ahead.

Bug#790334: libb-lint-perl: FTBFS with perl 5.22: test failure

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Source: libb-lint-perl
Version: 1.19-1
Severity: important
User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.22-transition
Tags: sid stretch upstream patch
Forwarded: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=101115

This package FTBFS with perl 5.22 (currently in experimental):

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Command::MM -MTest::Harness -
e undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(1, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch') t/
*.t
# Failed at t/lint.t line 119
#  got 'Bare sub name \'bare\' interpreted as string at -e line 1
# '
# expected 'Bare sub name \'bare\' interpreted as string at -e line 1
# Bare sub name \'bare\' interpreted as string at -e line 1
# '
t/lint.t .. 

There is a workaround patch on the upstream bug report.

This bug will become release critical nearer the time of the perl 5.22
migration, expected during the (northern hemisphere) summer.

Cheers,
Dominic.
