Comment 1 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2015-06-11 23:07:22 UTC 
Blocks mkvtoolnix update (mkvtoolnix build-depends on po4a).

Comment 3 Ralf Corsepius 2015-06-17 07:44:15 UTC 
AFAIS, the cause is perl-5.22 issuing a couple of warnings, which confuse the po4a's testsuite.

I am going to apply a couple of hacks consisting of 3 patches, which let the testsuite succeed again. However, I would expect po4a to have further similar compatibility issues at other places these patches do not address.

FWIW: po4a-0.46 isn't much better. Upstream seems to have addressed one of the problems my patches address, but seem to have introduced another one.
