Message:

biblatex-biber-2.4 and consequential perl module changes. I have downgraded the test deps for biber to optional: when I first put this in the book, test failures indicated problems. But for the last three releases we have had to expect at least one failure because we are not building on OSX. Meanwhile, v2.4 breaks external modules (hopefully, all have been updated by now) so the tests are no more useful than for most other desktop packages.
