Bug#1040534: libcatmandu-dbi-perl: FTBFS with newer versions of JSON::PP: t/09-serializer-json-string.t failure

[Niko Tyni]

Source: libcatmandu-dbi-perl
Version: 0.12-2
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs upstream
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.38-transition
Forwarded: https://github.com/LibreCat/Catmandu-DBI/issues/35

This package fails to build with JSON::PP >= 4.08, including
the one packaged separately in libjson-pp-perl as of bookworm
and sid, and the one bundled with Perl 5.38 (currently in
experimental.)

  Result: FAIL

This can be triggered for instance by passing sbuild the argument

  --add-depends='libjson-pp-perl (>= 4.08000)'

The upstream ticket at https://github.com/LibreCat/Catmandu-DBI/issues/35
indicates the test may be faulty.
