Hm, I guess we should come to a conclusion on this issue: Ideas so far: 1) reupload 3.17 (with an epoch or something) 2) create a 3.20 + patch version (risky and ugly) 3) upload 3.22 (huge diff) Another simpler way that came to my mind might be: * Remove libtest-harness-perl 3.20-1 from testing; perl core has Test::Harness 3.17 in 5.10.1 anyway. Should solve the problem in testing, and has the same effect in the end as Nicholas' proposal. * And upload 3.22 to unstable to close the bug in unstable. Am I missing something?
