Bug#834911: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: FTBFS too much often (Failed 2/12 test programs)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.082
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh build-indep --with bash-completion
   dh_testdir -i
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_auto_configure -i
	perl Build.PL --installdirs vendor --config "optimize=-g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" --config "ld=x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wl,-z,relro"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this
is the same as a FTBFS bug in the usual sense, and the fact that I was
doing "dpkg-buildpackage -A" does not mean anything special.

I attach three different failed build logs.

Thanks.
