Bug#997829: libipc-shareable-perl: autopkgtest regression on armhf and i386

[Paul Gevers]

Source: libipc-shareable-perl
Version: 1.06-1
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of libipc-shareable-perl the autopkgtest of
libipc-shareable-perl fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with
the binary packages of libipc-shareable-perl from unstable. It passes
when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
libipc-shareable-perl  from testing    1.06-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. The issue
seems to be related to 32 bit archs.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it?
