Re: Trouble installing qpsmtpd

The line 570 in /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/Net/DNS/Resolver/Base.pm reads

         no integer;

The context is

             }                    #SELECTOR LOOP
         }                        #NAMESERVER LOOP
         no integer;
         $timeout += $timeout;
     }                            #RETRY LOOP

Should I just remove the -T? Or comment out the "no integer;"?

The "no integer;" is odd in this position at the end of a loop, 
especially because there is no "use integer;" in the containing 
_send_udp method in
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/NLNETLABS/Net-DNS-1.06_03/lib/Net/DNS/Resolver/Base.pm

$timeout is (from earlier in the function):
     my $timeout = $servers ? do { no integer; $retrans / $servers } : 0;

So it should be safe to remove the offending line, right?

BTW, this issue has also been reported here: 
https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2016-06/msg04186.html
