Bug#1093338: libbio-eutilities-perl: FTBFS: Failed 8/20 test programs. 0/174 subtests failed.

Hi David,

Again, thanks for your thoughts on the issue, as discussed in
the issue tracker upstream, this turns out to be a Debian
specific problem.  After further investigations, it seems to
originate from debian/patches/inline-DTDs-on-testsuite.  If I
remove such patch, the build goes through upon build time test.

However, subsequent autopkgtest integration fails on many tests
with the following error:

	t/egquery.t ................. 
	1..18
	http error : Resource temporarily unavailable
	XML::Simple called at /usr/share/perl5/Bio/Tools/EUtilities.pm line 144.
	# Looks like your test exited with 255 before it could output anything.
	Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
	Failed 18/18 subtests 

This is bugging me by the way, because I'm not supposed to have
much more network access from my build environment than from my
autopkgtest environment, so I don't understand why the build
time test goes through.  I guess there is a ressource available
from within the source code directory which is not captured
anymore once files are dispatched in the file system tree.

I checkpoint where I'm at for now and may come back later for
further investigation, unless someone has a look and finds a
solution in the meantime.

Have a nice day,  :)
