    Hello Dominic!

    I have uploaded Perl 5.32 to Debian unstable, starting a 600+ package transition. Wide uninstallability is to be expected in sid for the next
    few days until the necessary rebuilds have been completed.

    There seem to be build issues on QEMU again as the build fails on m68k and
    sh4. I also noticed that the build fails with many parallel jobs (building
    with 64 jobs in my case).

    Thanks,

    Right, it looks like the issue described at #931641 has returned.
    This was apparently[1] fixed in qemu-user but I don't know any more
    details about the fix (or indeed the deployment status of the buildds)
    to check how it regressed.

    CCing the porter lists for any additional insights.

    It must be a slightly different issue and most likely this bug #970460 [1].

    A heads-up to us porters would have been nice prior the upload, now I'm
    very much in a hurry to get perl_5.32 to be built not to fall back in the transition *sigh*.

    Hi, I'm sorry about that. I don't think either of us noticed the
    failure in the experimental upload in September. It's easy to miss
    failures of non-release architectures, given how often transient issues
    arise. If I understand that bug correctly, there's a workaround that
    you would be able to apply on the buildds - is that correct?

    I filed #974004 to track this on the perl side.

    Thanks
    Dominic

    Avoiding the ext4 kernel module would avoid that bug, right?
