So this broke the test suites of 3 reverse dependencies:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libhttp-daemon-perl


And the test failures (when building the three packages locally) are
as follows. Note that they all hang at the beginning of the _next_
test:

libhttp-proxy-perl

ok

Error GETing http://127.0.0.1:58567/: Can't connect to 127.0.0.1:58567 (Connection refused) at t/local/back.t line 53.


While it should be possible to fix the three packages in general, I
see 2 problems:
- other breakage this might cause (in packages without autopkgtests
  or in local/third-party code)
- we're running out of time for buster (last upload possibility today
  or maybe tomorrow)

At the beginning of a release cycle I'd be happy to work from here
and fix what we see and what might come up, but I think now is a bad
point of time for this approach.

So I think we should revert the change (i.e. disable the patches),
and reopen he bug, and I'll do that tonight unless other ideas/fixes
come up in the next hours.

Comments/ideas/help welcome!


Cheers,
gregor
