[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: libdbd-excel-perl
Version: 0.06-4
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS on i386, very likely to fail everywhere else
Usertags: grid5000 rebuild

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, I discovered that your package
failed to build on i386.

Relevant parts:
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Using DBI 1.54 (for perl 5.008008 on i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi) installed in /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBI/

Base class package "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook" is empty.
    (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.)
