Package: libfile-flock-perl
Version: 2014.01-3
Severity: important
Tags: forky sid
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.42-transition

One of the modules in this package warns when used with Perl 5.42
(currently in experimental.) This also propagates to at least one another
package, causing an autopkgtest regression there.

  https://ci.debian.net/packages/libd/libdaemon-generic-perl/unstable/amd64/64017618/

  $ perl -we 'use File::Flock::Forking'
  Possible precedence problem between ! and string eq at /usr/share/perl5/File/Flock/Forking.pm line 14.

If you want to test changes against Perl 5.42 in experimental and run
into uninstallability problems, there is a test repository of rebuilt
Debian sid packages for amd64 available at <https://perl.debian.net/>.
