David,<br><br>I have recently lost my Debian devt box and will not have one for at least a few days. As we speak my only Debian environment is a production box still running Woody because that's the last Debian release with a libsql-statement-perl [SQL::Statement 0.1020-2] that can reliably do basic SQL. I cannot screw with that box. In a week or so I will have a Debian devt box and I hope to be able to do as you ask.<br>
<br>I have reported the bug to Ubuntu as I do have an Ubuntu development box. As yet no version of Ubuntu has any version of SQL::Statement later than 1.15.<br><br>In the interim, if you cannot wait for me, the detail of the bug is at <a href="https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=50788">https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=50788</a><br>
<br>There, readily available for download and attached to the initial bug report is the test code you need.<br><br>$ tar xzf zupdate-bug.tar.gz<br>$ cd zupdate-bug<br>$ make run<br><br>The test passes on libsql-statement-perl 0.1020 and fails on 1.14 and 1.15. It has been reported to me by H.Merijn Brand that the test fails on the recent version of SQL::Statement also.<br>
<br>Note as to where should the bug be reported: Obviously GNU/Linux isn't just Debian. All the those who distribute GNU/Linux compilations need to see the bug. The bug is not distro specific. I cannot report it to every distro maintainer nor should I be expected to. That is why it should be reported at CPAN. All distro maintainers should and do refer upstream to see if the packages they are included have critical bugs. So the bugs need to be recorded cetrally, there. I strongly suspect that you share this view. I repeat it here because it is not a view shared by the CPAN maintainer of SQL::Statement.<br>

Dear Paul;<br>
<br>
If you believe libsql-statement-perl 1.22 is unfit to be in testing,<br>
please file a bug report explaining why. At this point I'm afraid the<br>
details will just get lost in this long thread. For best results,<br>
please include a specific test case that demonstrates the problem.<br>
<br>
Bugs can reported using "reportbug libsql-statement-perl" on any<br>
Debian system, or, with somewhat more difficulty via email (see<br>
<a href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting" target="_blank">http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting</a>).<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
David<br>
