this is serious for us. we need the ability to rebuild packages. during
package build, the tests are ran. if the tests fail, the build fails,
so we can't build the package, which creates problems for us. we can
of course fix this in the package by disabling the test suite or the
failing tests (perhaps you should do the same upstream so that
installs via cpan work as well).

anyways, thanks for the response.

we have no patches yet.
