Package: libtest-unixsock-perl
Version: 0.1-1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.26-transition
This package Build-Conflicts-Indep: libtest-simple-perl (>= 1.3),
for reasons that aren't immediately obvious.
This was OK-ish for stretch, where src:perl had an old enough Test-Simple
so the Build-Conflicts-Indep just kept the newer separate package
away. However, Perl 5.26 bundles a newer Test-Simple, and the change to
versioned Provides there means the build dependencies/conflicts can't
be satisfied at all anymore.
There's an example build log at
http://perl.debian.net/rebuild-logs/perl-5.26-throwaway/libtest-unixsock-perl_0.1-1/libtest-unixsock-perl_0.1-1_amd64-2017-05-21T14:10:46Z.build
and the server also hosts a repository of packages binNMU'd for Perl
5.26 that can be used for testing purposes; see <http://perl.debian.net/>.
