ok, I understand which instance of YAML::Tiny is causing trouble.

Since the security issue related to YAML::XS has been fixed (provided 
$YAML::XS::LoadBlessed is set to 0, which is not a problem for cme), I see no 
issue to switch libconfig-model-dpkg-perl to YAML::XS instead of YAML::Tiny.

Dear debian-perl team colleagues, do you foresee any problem with this change 
?

All the best

Dod
