Package: libdbd-firebird-perl Version: 0.50 Severity: grave Tags: upstream patch fixed-upstream Justification: causes non-serious data loss
When fetching numeric data bwtween -1 and 0, DBD::Firebird messes with the conversion from the format the firebird uses to the string that is passed to upper layers causing data loss. This was fixed upstream in https://github.com/mariuz/perl-dbd-firebird/commit/b4fad5d264abafeb26e1333b74f6a5c2f75f4869 It seems to me the non-working code was first released in version 0.50 upstream, so every Debian release is affected. An updated test at https://github.com/mariuz/perl-dbd-firebird/blob/master/t/92-bigdecimal_read.t demonstrates the issue. I plan to fix this in unstable by upgrading the package to the newest upstream release, and probably stable by backporting the fix.
