-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Control: tags -1 + fixed-upstream Control: forwarded -1 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=78200 Hi [Setting the Severity to important as the module does not behave as documented in manpage and calculates thus 'wrong' values, but we can downgrade this to normal if needed] libmath-random-mt-perl 1.15-1 introduced wrong handling of arguments for rand() and irand(). rand() does not respect the argument passed (but should), as if rand($number) is set, the PRNG outputs numbers in [0,$number). Wrongly it does it with irand(). This is fixed upstream in 1.16-1, but introduce a change also for the testsuite to switch to Test::More and Test::Number::Delta. p.s.: I can extract the change and ask release-team for an unblock request for wheezy.
