Hi Vincent,

When I tried to replicate this problem I got a test failure instead.
The same test failure, in fact, that you reported at

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=83881

This doesn't appear to be a bug in the Debian package. If there is an
unrelated problem which causes the package to not be installable and
which *is* a bug in Debian, please let us know.

Cheers,
Dominic.
