Hi, libdatetime-perl FTBFS on powerpcspe[1] like this: =============================================================== dh_auto_test -a t/00load.t ....................... ok t/01sanity.t ..................... ok t/02last-day.t ................... ok t/03components.t ................. ok t/04epoch.t ...................... ok t/05set.t ........................ ok t/06add.t ........................ ok t/07compare.t .................... ok t/09greg.t ....................... ok t/10subtract.t ................... ok t/11duration.t ................... ok t/12week.t ....................... ok t/13strftime.t ................... ok t/14locale.t ..................... ok t/15jd.t ......................... ok t/16truncate.t ................... ok t/17set-return.t ................. ok t/18today.t ...................... ok t/19leap-second.t ................ ok # Failed test 'positive infinity is really positive' # at t/20infinite.t line 31. # Failed test 'infinity - normal = infinity' # at t/20infinite.t line 42. # Failed test 'normal - infinity = neg infinity' # at t/20infinite.t line 54. [...] =============================================================== Turns out that libdatetime-perl defines infinity like this: use constant INFINITY => ( 9**9**9 ); On other platforms, this results in overflow, thus infinity: $ perl -e 'print 9**9**9 . "\n";' inf On powerpcspe: $ perl -e 'print 9**9**9 . "\n";' 1.79769313486232e+308 However, 9**9**9**9 is infinite, even on powerpcspe: $ perl -e 'print 9**9**9**9 . "\n";' inf Alternatively, you could also do like this: perl -e 'print 0+'inf' . "\n";' inf perl -e 'print 0+'-inf' . "\n";' -inf I'm using the first approach in the attached patch.
