Test::TCP and others need a fixed IO-Socket-IP, and we will have a
fix for #964902 in bullseye, either as libio-socket-ip-perl >=
0.39-3~ (which needs closing the "don't migrate" bug) or in
perl-base, which provides libio-socket-ip-perl (the fix is already
there in 5.32.0-3 in experimental, cf. #968913, what's missing is a
bump of the versioned Provides and the transition of 5.32 to
unstable; or a backport to 5.30 in unstable), or both.

In any case, we need this dependency to fix several dozens of
potential or actual test failures, and we will work out the details
with regards to bullseye soon.


Cheers,
