Current status: 5.22.1 is still looking likely in the next few days.
As of now this bug is blocked by the following:
#807492: libmath-bigint-gmp-perl: FTBFS on 32 bit platforms
This is a fairly new bug and there is a fix pending - we would
ideally get some feedback from upstream, but if not we can upload it
at around the same time as perl.
As I already mentioned, redhat-cluster currently FTBFS, and has done
since August, so I don't think we should block on that.
Emilio, do you agree with this assessment? If so can we upload
5.22.1 to unstable when it's released?
I think we should probably do a d-d-a mail either now or at the time
of the upload, so I'll do that once you give the go-ahead.
Cheers,
Dominic.
