Looks like a combination of the following Debian bugs:
#545616, closed in 1:1.221-3
#549465, closed in 1:1.221-4

FWIW: It still builds on debian unstable (i386 and amd64 cowbuilder
chroot).
Now we should know the difference between sid und lucid ...

Well, the recent FTBFS has nothing to do with the original bug report from LaMont, but ok.

There are two test failures in the current log.

# Failed test at t/GtkAssistant.t line 42.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 27.
t/GtkAssistant.t ...................
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/27 subtests

[...]

# Failed test at t/GtkBuildableIface.t line 71.
# got: 'TestThingView'
# expected: 'view1'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 89.
t/GtkBuildableIface.t ..............
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/89 subtests

The former is a deliberate behavior change in gtk+2.0 2.19.6, to permit gtk_assistant_get_nth_page(-1) to return the last page; so I think the libgtk-perl test should be corrected.

The latter looks like a genuine gtk bug; get_name() returns the expected output for all the other objects in the tree, with the exception of the TestThingView.

Prospective patch attached for the first issue. Opening a gtk+2.0 task for the second.

the second issue is probably due to the change on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591085

the change on http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Gtk2/commit/?id=d0b0e0baf7a611c307040cef13773556a4898d08 might be what you need there

the issue is not a gtk one

I've uploaded an update fixing both issues which is waiting for approval now and sent the debdiff to debian

This bug was fixed in the package libgtk2-perl - 1:1.221-4ubuntu1

---------------
libgtk2-perl (1:1.221-4ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
