You always need to check update_output.txt as well as the excuses. I
haven't checked yet, but I imagine that several libpcap-dependent things
have to move in at once, and that perhaps one or more of them depend on
the new glibc.

Depends on perl 5.8, so clearly can't move to testing until that does.
Frankly I don't think it's worth your time investigating problems with
testing until we have a fixed glibc. At that point it will be possible
to start battling with whatever's still holding up perl 5.8, but until
then most of your searches will lead you straight to glibc.
