Package: libnet-pcap-perl
Version: 0.18-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: autopkgtest

As noticed by ci.debian.net, this package fails its test suite
on current sid, making it fail to build from source.

  https://ci.debian.net/packages/libn/libnet-pcap-perl/unstable/amd64/

This regressed on 20161029 or so:

  https://ci.debian.net/data/packages/unstable/amd64/libn/libnet-pcap-perl/20161029_182428.log

  -libpcap0.8 1.7.4-3
  +libpcap0.8 1.8.1-1

The reason looks like just a cosmetic change in libpcap diagnostics:

  #   Failed test ' - $err must not be null: syntax error in filter expression: syntax error'
  #   at t/09-error.t line 25.
  #                   'syntax error in filter expression: syntax error'
  #     doesn't match '/^(?:parse|syntax) error$/'
  # Looks like you failed 1 test of 10.
