perl-5.34.0-479.fc35 fails to build in Fedora 35 if gdbm-devel-1.20-1.fc35 is installed because a gdbm test fails: ../ext/FileCache/t/02maxopen.t ....................................... ok gdbm_firstkey: Item not found at ../../t/lib/dbmt_common.pl line 52. Compilation failed in require at t/gdbm.t line 6. # Tests were run but no plan was declared and done_testing() was not seen. # Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 5. ../ext/GDBM_File/t/gdbm.t ............................................ Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) All 5 subtests passed This is probably triggered by upgrading gdbm from 1.19 to 1.20. From a GDBM changelog: Version 1.20, 2021-06-17 * New bucket cache The bucket cache support has been rewritten from scratch. The new bucket cache code provides for significant speed up of search operations. * Change mmap prereading strategy Pre-reading of the memory mapper regions, introduced in version 1.19 can be advantageous only when doing intensive look-ups on a read-only database. It degrades performance otherwise, especially if doing multiple inserts. Therefore, this version introduces a new flag to gdbm_open: GDBM_PREREAD. When given, it enables pre-reading of memory mapped regions. See https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18884 for details.
