I see two remaining issues here, which do not appear in the bug
tracker, but are part of the build log uploaded to people.d.o.
The first issue is reproducible with:

	$ prove t/LocalDB/Fasta.t
	t/LocalDB/Fasta.t .. 1/109 Subroutine new redefined at /usr/share/perl5/Bi=
o/DB/IndexedBase.pm line 1121.
	Subroutine next_seq redefined at /usr/share/perl5/Bio/DB/IndexedBase.pm li=
ne 1130.
	Subroutine TIEHANDLE redefined at /usr/share/perl5/Bio/DB/IndexedBase.pm l=
ine 1139.
	Subroutine READLINE redefined at /usr/share/perl5/Bio/DB/IndexedBase.pm li=
ne 1144.

	Result: FAIL

The second issue is:

	$ prove t/Ontology/OntologyEngine.t
	t/Ontology/OntologyEngine.t .. 1/31 Undefined subroutine &main::throws_ok =
called at t/Ontology/OntologyEngine.t line 117.
	# Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 7.

	Failed 24/31 subtests=20

	-------------------
	t/Ontology/OntologyEngine.t (Wstat: 65280 (exited 255) Tests: 7 Failed: 0)
	  Non-zero exit status: 255
	  Parse errors: Bad plan.  You planned 31 tests but ran 7.

	Result: FAIL

Other items look to be resolved.  Let's see if I can make heads
or tails of those=E2=80=A6

Have a nice day,  :)
