[Niko Tyni]

Package: libmath-algebra-symbols-perl
Version: 1.21-1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.12-transition, perl-long-double

This package fails to build on amd64 with perl 5.12.0-1 from experimental:

  Test Summary Report
  -------------------
  t/bug_2004_6_2.t   (Wstat: 2560 Tests: 12 Failed: 10)
    Failed tests:  1-10
    Non-zero exit status: 10
  t/pentagon.t       (Wstat: 65280 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
    Non-zero exit status: 255
    Parse errors: Bad plan.  You planned 1 tests but ran 0.
  t/solve2.t         (Wstat: 512 Tests: 2 Failed: 2)
    Failed tests:  1-2
    Non-zero exit status: 2

Looking at 
 http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/M/Math-Algebra-Symbols.html
the failure is almost certainly due to 5.12.0-1 being configured with 
-Duselongdouble.
