Hi,

Crypt::CBC is used in 'test.pl', run in the 'make test' step of building
the package. It's in the Build-Depends to ensure complete test coverage,
since otherwise some of the tests would be skipped.

Could you please explain why is this a problem? Is the package failing
to build for you, as mentioned in the title ('FTBFS')?

Cheers,
