[Niko Tyni]

Package: request-tracker4
Version: 4.4.1-4
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.26-transition

This package fails to build with Perl 5.26 (currently in experimental.)

A full build log is available at
  http://perl.debian.net/rebuild-logs/perl-5.26-throwaway/request-tracker4_4.4.1-4/request-tracker4_4.4.1-4_amd64-2017-06-16T04:32:28Z.build

and the server also hosts a repository of packages binNMU'd for Perl
5.26 that can be used for testing purposes; see <http://perl.debian.net/>.
