My preliminary findings are that a change in Perl broke the sbuild parsing of .changes files, in lib/Sbuild/Build.pm:1865 or so. This has different behaviour on 5.20 and 5.22: perl -MData::Dumper -e '@a=(split( /\s+/, "foo"))[5]; print Dumper \@a' which shows an empty array on 5.20 and an array of one undef element on 5.22. I'm not yet sure if this is a regression in Perl or a bugfix. Will follow up later when I know more. Marking this as blocking the Perl transition to testing for now. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
