I've now imported the new 1.19 upstream release.
Incidentally, the package changed from arch:all to arch:any.

And I added salsa-ci tests, and the debrebuild and test-build-any and autopkgtest 
jobs already failed with:

Test Summary Report

Result: FAIL

So our friend (t/65-seg_size.t renamed to) t/47-seg_size.t again. And 
t/99-end.t.

The build jobs on amd64/i386 pass. With the same tests.


I'm happy to disable t/47-seg_size.t (and have done so in Git) but 
then we now also have a failing t/99-end.t. Sometimes.


Next step: After disabling t/47-seg_size.t we have a green pipeline. 
I.e. t/99-end.t. also passes. insert-shrug-emoji-here


Alright, uploading, let's see if the buildds and ci hosts survive …

Next day:

The build fails on ppc64el
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libipc-shareable-perl
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libipc-shareable-perl&arch=ppc64el&ver=1.19-1&stamp=1787773225&raw=0
in _different_ tests:

debci doesn't have 1.19-1 results:
