Bug#855886: libembperl-perl: failing autopkgtests

[Nishanth Aravamudan]

Package: libembperl-perl
Version: 2.5.0-10
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu zesty ubuntu-patch

Dear Maintainer,

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * d/t/pkg-perl/use-whitelist: specify whitelist for DynaLoader
    redefinition messages when PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 is set (LP: #1667121).

The autopkgtests for libembperl-perl have been failing for some time and
in debugging the issue, I found that the failures started with the
update from pkg-perl-autopkgtest 0.34. That update started running an
iteration of the tests with PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1. This package, though,
emits redefinition warnings (correctly as far as I can tell), and so we
need to add those warnings to the whitelist.

Thanks for considering the patch.
