Executive Sum.: Upstream is cleared of any wrongdoing, common::sense needs to be built for every Perl version anew. Longer: I've been delving into common::sense's source and realized that the magic number (0x820f00 in the old version's case) is actually set correctly according to Perl version in the build script, sense.pm.PL . So, if common::sense is being built with Perl 5.18 it will work with 5.18 but not with 5.14 and perhaps not even with 5.20 (due to the fast-changing Perl 'feature' facility evinced by the ephemeral nature of $^H). So the line > > sed -i 's|0x820f00|0x1c000000|' /usr/lib/perl5/common/sense.pm simply worked, because it reset the 5.14 $^H to a version that's at least length-wise compatible with 5.18's. Does that make any ... No, no cheap pun today. That's a bit of a bummer for the package's progression through unstable-testing-stable, though, isn't it? Or is that only a problem in my mind?
