The commit shows which problem the conflicts is supposed to solve but
also not really why.

I tried some combinations now:

5.24.1 Test::More::VERSION: 1.001014
5.26.0 Test::More::VERSION: 1.302073

That's the bundled Test::More versions of the respective perls, and
both builds succeeds.

Then I added a B-D-I on libtest-simple-perl (>= 1.302075), so we get
5.24.1 Test::More::VERSION: 1.302075
5.26.0 Test::More::VERSION: 1.302075

and both builds fail with

IPC Fatal Error: Leftover files in the directory (/tmp/test2~2701~jjTyz_/2701~0~1~2702~0~13~Test2~Event~Note.ready)!
Could not remove IPC temp dir (/tmp/test2~2701~jjTyz_) at /usr/share/perl5/Test2/IPC/Driver/Files.pm line 420 during global destruction.

(which is the same as mentioned in the commit which introduced the
Conflicts)

So this looks like a bug in the specific Test::More version that is
currently in the separate libtest-simple-perl, maybe
https://github.com/Test-More/test-more/issues/765


Then I tried to build libtest-simple-perl 1.302085-1 to test libtest-unixsock-perl
with it -- but it doesn't build neither with 5.24.1 nor with 5.26.0.
That's https://github.com/Test-More/test-more/issues/770

*sigh*

Ok, let's build ith without running tests. And then libtest-unixsock-perl
again:

5.24.1 Test::More::VERSION: 1.302085

pass

5.26.0 Test::More::VERSION: 1.302085

fails again with

IPC Fatal Error: Leftover files in the directory (/tmp/test2~12195~MjWYMf/12195~0~1~12204~0~13~Test2~Event~Note.ready)!
Could not remove IPC temp dir (/tmp/test2~12195~MjWYMf) at /usr/share/perl5/Test2/IPC/Driver/Files.pm line 420 during global destruction.


Looks like it's somehow related to Test::More (or
Test2/IPC/Driver/Files.pm) but not only.


My not very elegant proposal for libtest-unixsock-perl would be to
- drop the Build-Conflicts-Indep, and
- to skip t/15_oo_unix.t


And for libtest-simple-perl to wait for a new release.


Cheers,
