It seems there's a missing perl dependency for git send-email: $ git send-email -h BUG: The 'Mail::Address' module is not here, but NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS was set! Git needs this Perl module from the CPAN, and will by default ship with a copy of it. This Git was built with NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS, meaning that whoever built it promised to provide this module. You're seeing this error because they broke that promise, and we can't load our fallback version, since we were asked not to install it. If you're seeing this error and didn't package Git yourself the package you're using is broken, or your system is broken. This error won't appear if Git is built without NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS (instead we'll use our fallback version of the module). at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Git/LoadCPAN.pm line 76.

Thanks for the report Jeremy. Sorry for missing this dependency with the update to 2.17.0. I'll push a fix to updates-testing shortly. (I expect 2.17.0-rc2 to land in the next day or so as well, with some other minor fixes.)
