Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, this package failed to build.

Note 1: The failures happen randomly, but it fails more than 75% of the time here.

Note 2: The failing tests are not always the same:

- sometimes t/cme-meta-edit.t fails
- sometimes t/cme-meta-plugin.t fails
- and sometimes both of them fail

I've put a bunch of failed build logs here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202610/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible (in this case, where the failures happen 75% of the time).

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:libconfig-model-itself-perl, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.
