Bug#506915: FTBFS: libpoe-component-client-dns-perl - Failed test 'lookup without hosts file (67.207.145.70)'

[Rene Mayorga]

Package: libpoe-component-client-dns-perl
Version: 1:1.00-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Fails to build from source 

Hi,

As Tincho said at CPAN RT#33677[0]
requiring network access at the test suite could be a problem.

At this moment libpoe-component-client-dns-perl from lenny (1:1.00-1)
is failing to build if there is not network available.

Here is the output:

The version present at unstable already includes Tincho's proposal patch and the
package build fine.

IMHO this deserve serious as severity.
and it will also deserve a push from a patched version to at least t-p-u.
