This is about the version bundled with perl itself which is not yet fixed in unstable. But good to point out that the separate packaged versions don't need a separate bug report :) https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/perl/perl.git/tree/cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/lib/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm#n12

My reading is that no change in IO-Compress was needed once Compress-Raw-Zlib was fixed.

The Ubuntu patches and the second bug also reference IO-Compress, not sure if that's upstream yet. > I'm not convinced that we need to spend time on fixing this for 5.24 > given where we are in the release cycle, but this will depend on > when the zlib maintainer (Cced) plans to update to a newer zlib.

Just to be clear, this is in Compress-Raw-Zlib that has already (according to https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=119762) been fixed in 2.74, which is already in blead and perl 5.26 (which is in experimental). I'm not convinced that we need to spend time on fixing this for 5.24 given where we are in the release cycle, but this will depend on when the zlib maintainer (Cced) plans to update to a newer zlib. Thanks, Dominic.
Bug#865411: perl: please backport zlib > 1.2.9 patches
Source: perl Version: 5.24.1-4 Severity: important Hello, with the new zlib > 1.2.9 the testsuite fails, (e.g. you can look at Ubuntu build failures). https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/perl/5.24.1-2 I found the test failures on rt.cpan.org and I applied to Ubuntu the proposed patches: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=120134 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=119762 I don't know why they are not applied upstream, nor if they are really backward compatible with the older zlib please consider applying them or upstreaming them (in case cpan is not the upstream place). thanks! Gianfranco
