+I am testing it, there are not that many failing but I guess that will
+be over a hundred so it would be good to test in the code if it
+succeeded
+
+Good news is that several of them does not seem to have ever been
+uploaded so they don't matter
+
+Some of them have release %mkrel 0 and the code fails to handle that
+but this should be easy to fix (Unable to extract release number from
+value '0'), that would fix a lot of the ones in the list
+
+        croak "Unable to extract release number from value '$value'"
+            unless $number;
+
+Changing it to unless defined($number); should do the trick
+
+Beginning of the list (until c) with unpatched code:

+-mYouri::Package::RPM::Updater -e
+"Youri::Package::RPM::Updater->new()->update_from_spec('$s')"
