Current status: - 11 036 out of 28 414 source packages tried (39%), of which - 551 ftbfs with regular sid, as well as with perl 5.28 - 2 ftbfs with perl 5.28 and build fine with regular sid The two failures are strange, and I can't really attribute them to the perl upgrade, but the fact remains - they build fine with sid and fail with perl 5.28 installed. Perhaps this is related to the methodology. The 'perl 5.28' chroot has perl/5.28 installed into id, while the 'plain sid' one does not. Earlier there were failures related to usrmerge -- debootstrap now creates chroots with merged /usr. I have reverted that and used a clone of an old 'plain sid' chroot, which was created with an older debootstrap to avoid the noise. The logs of the two failed packages are on https://people.debian.org/~dmn/perl-5.28/failed/ (and I'll keep that updated as the rebuilds progress). -- dam
