Bugs and packages
=================

 * RC #819782: libdatabase-dumptruck-perl: FTBFS: t/dumptruck.t failure
   verified as fixed by sqlite_3.12.2-1, closed
 * RC #821233: perlbal: FTBFS: Unable to start socket: Address already in
   use reproducible locally and on ci.debian.net; investigated and reopened
 * pkg-perl-tools: new feature in pkg-perl-autopkgtest's smoke test that
   allows to use a different set of tests instead of the hardcoded default
   of "t/*.t". The new file is named debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-tests.
 * libdevel-cover-perl: XTaran wondered about unreported reproducibility
   issues and asked for assistance on the reproducible-builds mailing list:
   https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20160418/005305.html
   Dom answered that the build path doesn't seem to be taken into account.
 * libdevel-cover-perl: New upstream release + (non-trivial) implementation
   of autopkgtest. (Needed new features in pkg-perl-autopkgtest, see above.)
 * RC #820332: libnet-dns-perl/libnet-dns-sec-perl file conflict, solved by
   uploading both packages: libnet-dns-perl with new Breaks/Replaces and a
   new upstream release of libnet-dns-sec-perl.
