Subject: perl: [5.8.4-4] FTBFS on mipsel, holding other packages with security holes from sarge

Package: perl
Version: 5.8.4-4
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: holding packages with remote exploitable security holes from
  sarge

Perl is not building on MIPSEL, due to test-suite failures. It is holding
packages from sarge that fix security holes that are remotely exploitable,
thus the inflated severity of this bug (instead of the usual "serious"
severity).

See
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=perl&ver=5.8.4-4&arch=mipsel&stamp=1101291814&file=log&as=raw

See Bug#273746. This appears to be a problem with the buildd, not perl.

Currently (and since 11th May, with last successful built of version
5.8.4-2), perl FTBFS (because of failing tests) on the official mipsel
autobuilders. It however compiles well on other machines. The main
difference seems to be that the remake (the offical machine) is a lasat,
the machine where I tested the compile is a cobalt (as I'm also using
sbuild, the build environment should be more or less the same).

So it appears to me that this FTBFS bug filed against remake can be
closed, as the machine in question has been either rebuilt or retired.

I haven't actually done anything to this bug as there may be more going
on here than I'm aware of, but from what I can see this isn't a bug in
perl, but an issue with the buildd that has since been solved.

(If remake and repeat are seperate machines, then there's at least
something repeatable across machines here.)

If it was/is an issue with the buildd, then the 12-test failure first
appears in 5.8.4-2.2 on 2004-09-07, and last appears 2005-03-08, and the
t/op/fork test failure first appears 2005-06-07 and was last seen
2005-07-11 (and a rebuild 10 hours later on the same machine didn't
fail, so if this was an issue, it may have been fixed that day?)

(The 12 tests failing earlier don't include t/op/fork, BTW)
