Not sure (and I have to run now) but both tests fail exactly before
they get to the network tests. Maybe this is test_skip() in
Bio/Root/Test.pm (which _might_ to try to read the result of `perl
Build.PL' to see if network tests are allowed and this fails during
autopkgtest because those build artifacts don't exist in the
temporary test directory).

If this is true I'm not sure what's the best way to fix it. And easy
and inelegant version is to add the 2 tests to
debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-skip.


As for the failure of use.t --> attachment
