Bug#834960: libdaemon-generic-perl: FTBFS too much often (failing tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:libdaemon-generic-perl
Version: 0.84-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch 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
   dh_testdir -i
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_auto_configure -i
	perl -I. Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Generating a Unix-style Makefile
Writing Makefile for Daemon::Generic
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
   dh_auto_build -i
	make -j1

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

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 build logs. There are more here:

Thanks.
