I was not able to reproduce the build faillure using cowbuilder
environment (See attachend build log). Is this possible related to
sbuild?

libdevel-nytprof-perl_2.10-1 needs as Build-Dependency 

	'Test::More'   => '0.81_01',

thus, libtest-simple-perl at least Version 0.82. perl-modules also
contains the Test::More Module, but Version 0.72.

So if I see it corrctly, perl-modules should not stop "providing" 
libtest-simple-perl. Thus my question, could the problem be related to
how sbuild resolves the dependencies (since, cowbuilder/pbuilder seem
to do it right?)

Kind regards
Salvatore
