Hi Niko, I did this two weeks ago, but it turns out one of the failures (run/switches.t) is important, as it reveals that `perl -pi -e ... /tmp/foo` is broken, which in turn causes r-base-core's postinst to fail. I've tracked this down and sent a patch upstream[1]; could you please apply this to the packaging? Thanks, James [1] https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133668
