Ouch!

Because lwp-protocol-https-perl is just a few days old (split off
from libwww-perl).

Yup.
(For m68k, it builds fine on architectures where the perl 5.12
transition is completed but it will break there for the perl 5.14
transition in the same way).

I'm looking into it now, probably dropping the build dependency on
libtest-kwalitee-perl (and disabling the test) at the top of the
chain is the best solution.
 

Cheers,
