Bug#642803: libmouse-perl: test suite failure on ia64 causes FTBFS

[intrigeri+debian at boum.org]

Package: libmouse-perl
Version: 0.93-1
Severity: important

Hi,

Mouse test suite sometimes fails on the ia64 architecture, causing the
whole package to fail to build from source.

Relevant buildd output:

#   Failed test at t/001_mouse/043-parameterized-type.t line 244.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 66.
t/001_mouse/043-parameterized-type.t ........................... 
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
[...]
t/001_mouse/043-parameterized-type.t                         (Wstat: 256 Tests: 66 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  63
  Non-zero exit status: 1

Failed build reports that expose this problem, that happened from time
to time for a while:

  0.93-2 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libmouse-perl&arch=ia64&ver=0.93-2&stamp=1312570909
  0.86-1 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libmouse-perl&arch=ia64&ver=0.86-1&stamp=1289577443
  0.82-1 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libmouse-perl&arch=ia64&ver=0.82-1&stamp=1289056203

Note that the very same buildd that exposed this problem recently
succeeded in building 0.91-1+b1, which has the same test suite
=> this test suite failure does not seems to happen every time.
Too bad CPAN Testers is currently down.

The failing test was introduced in 0.82, which accounts for the
failure not happening on previous versions.

Bye,
