Description Petr Pisar 2014-09-12 09:05:33 UTC 
perl-Tk-804.032-3.fc22.x86_64 segfaults with perl-5.20.0-307.fc22.x86_64:

$ perl -MTk -e '$mw = new MainWindow'
c69028 is not a hash at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Tk/MainWindow.pm line 53.
Aborted (core dumped)
Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2014-09-12 12:22:04 UTC 
Applying upstream patches helps. Then all Tk tests pass except one. See CPAN RT#98831.

liberation-sans-fonts is needed. The test is sensitive to fonts.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2014-09-15 07:45:53 UTC 
t/fileevent2.t fails in mock due missing missing a blocing TTY on stdin (see CPAN RT#98891).

This was fixed by upstream commit:

commit 39ce3fa564b0843a00553f5444b2110ed5e9701e
Author: Slaven Rezic <slaven>

    entry.t tweaking
    
    This should fix the (font-related) issues described in RT #98831.

Then only t/font.t fails without liberation-sans-fonts because it checks for number of font families available (see <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99411>).
