The Homepage field of this package says that the upstream is at
<http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net>, which says that their bugtracker
is <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=gnome-perl>.
This issue is also being tracked there, and I have updated the forwarded
field accordingly.

Ubuntu fixed this by disabling the failing lists:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcairo-perl/+bug/187823>

If necessary we could do the same, but we should make sure that this
bug remains open to track the fact that we're only working around the
issue.
