Package: libdbd-sqlite3-perl
Version: 1.40-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm working on a small perl script that pulls random records from an sqlite3
database.  Typically, as with the sqlite interface or cpan installations of
this module, I can do this with a simple "ORDER BY RANDOM() LIMIT 1" clause.
For some reason, when I use the .deb package version of the library, the result
of that clause is always the first matching database record rather than a
random one.
