I proposed this upstream and got this: The documentation for Net::INET6Glue states that using this module will include all submodules, so patching Net::INET6Glue would make the module behave different to what originally was intended. If you only want INET_is_INET6 then you should include Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6 only and not Net::INET6Glue. The warning is there because these modules are just an ugly hack to make older modules aware of IPv6 and the hack should be removed as soon one uses a module with native support for IPv6. My motivation for touching anything here is quite low, but it would be nice to get the autopkgtest suite to pass. I see four reverse dependencies: debmirror fex-utils ikiwiki-hosting-web ikiwiki ikiwiki and fex-utils only use Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6 so that's fine. ikiwiki-hosting-web seems not to use it at all; #811021 filed. debmirror is the only package that probably uses it for Net::FTP; #811020 filed. I'm going to close this bug by disabling the use.t check for the Net::INET6Glue and Net::INET6Glue::FTP. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
