It this really the case? In BD, there isn't any version restrictions on biber.

The proper way to handle this is to request a new reference test, which in this case we hope will fail. When both tests fails, it is no longer a regression and therefore, no longer blocking the migration. I have already requested a new reference test, which failed. After the test has been registered, it should no longer block the migration. > Thanks, > Hilmar > > [1] https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=biber -- Håvard
