Bug#1033784: FTBFS: mbimbf.t fails with libmath-bigint-perl 1.999838

[Roland Rosenfeld]

Source: libmath-bigint-gmp-perl
Version: 1.6011-2
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs, patch

Dear Maintainer,

yesterday I uploaded libmath-bigint-perl 1.999838-1, which fixes RC
bugs.
Bug with this version of libmath-bigint-perl now
libmath-bigint-gmp-perl fails to build, since two test cases in
t/mbimbf.t fail:

ok 729 - $x has A of 42
ok 730 - $x has A from global
not ok 731 - $x has still A of 42
ok 732 - $x has A of 42
ok 733 - $x has A from global
not ok 734 - $x has still A of 42

t/mbimbf.t in libmath-bigint-perl and libmath-bigint-gmp-perl where
identical except
-use Math::BigInt only => 'Calc';
+use Math::BigInt only => 'GMP';
before the update of libmath-bigint-perl, but Upstream
extended/changed mbimbf.t in 1.999838, so IMHO it should be changed in
libmath-bigint-gmp-perl accordingly.

The attached patch merges mbimbf.t changes from libmath-bigint-perl
1.999838.
With this patch libmath-bigint-gmp-perl builds with a working test
suite.

Greetings
Roland
