The other two remain, but libapache-db-perl got removed from testing already. I don't see any rdeps for libembperl-perl so presumably it can be removed as well. We have one new blocker, not related to Perl 5.38 but preventing the necessary rebuild: libgit-raw-perl #1057318 The only reverse dependencies I can see are libgit-objectstore-perl and torrus-common, so seems like testing removal is a viable option here as well. I uploaded 5.38.2 to experimental in the meantime, and have re-run the rebuild and autopkgtest checks. I found no new Perl 5.38 related regressions, and the new rebuild blockers I found are already fixed. The (unrelated) pandoc mess causes quite a few failures in sid that interfered with the testing though. I think we're as ready as can reasonably be, assuming you're OK with the above testing removals. Please let me know when a suitable transition slot becomes available. Thanks for your work, -- Niko
