Package: src:libcgi-validop-perl Version: 0.56-2 Severity: important Hello Gregor et al.
I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" but it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] # Failed test 't/16check_date.t : 246' # at lib/CGI/ValidOp/Test.pm line 108. # got: undef # expected: '2017-04-31' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 607. t/16check_date.t .......... [...] Test Summary Report ------------------- t/16check_date.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 607 Failed: 1) Failed test: 506 Non-zero exit status: 1 Files=24, Tests=3133, 3 wallclock secs ( 0.39 usr 0.13 sys + 2.26 cusr 0.36 csys = 3.14 CPU) Result: FAIL Failed 1/24 test programs. 1/3133 subtests failed.

This suggests a date-related bug. I have not tried to reproduce it by building it again on May 1st. Maybe this could be done by using libfaketime, but I think a better strategy would be to look at the code and the error message and try to guess how it may happen. Thanks.
