Bug#893472: libfurl-perl: broken on s390x?

Source: libfurl-perl
Version: 3.13-1
Severity: grave
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu bionic autopkgtest

Dear Jonas,

In Ubuntu, the most recent upload of libfurl-perl has been blocked from
inclusion in the upcoming bionic release by a failing autopkgtest on s390x:

[...]
t/100_low/13_deflate.t .......................... 
# normal 1 gzip
Uncompress error: data error at /usr/share/perl5/Furl/HTTP.pm line 845.
ok 1
# Tests were run but no plan was declared and done_testing() was not seen.
# Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 1.
Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)

From what I'm able to tell, this test failure points to the library actually
being broken on s390x, as it fails to decompress data sent back by the
test server which is implemented using libplack-middleware-deflater-perl.
But it's also possible that it's libplack-middleware-deflater-perl which is
broken on s390x, in which case this bug should be certainly reassigned.

I have also established that this same test fails when run against the
previous version of libfurl-perl, so this should not be considered a
regression in libfurl-perl.
