    I've been in contact with one of the testers that had a failure. He said
    he now cannot reproduce it, but that the first time he tested it some
    dependency problems were reported. The module depends on the latest
    version of a different module I've written, and if that was not
    installed I can well imagine that this error would occur.

    I was of the impression that this would be fine, as long as the version
    numbers where quoted (but maybe I've missinterpreted
    http://search.cpan.org/~jpeacock/version-0.41/lib/version.pm#Quoted_Versions
    ?).
