A temporary workaround might be to disable the tests that require Test::RefCount in the packages that use it, until such time as it's fixed. That would help get more of the stack done, at least until we hit something that depends on a broken module for core functionality rather than just its test suite. > surely this sort of mess should've been sorted out before 5.18 was > ever shipped stable?! Well yes it should, but we only find these things by trying to build the 2,000+ perl packages and it would have been nice if the rebuild-in-progress hadn't been tagged into rawhide before the job was done.
