Comment 4 Stefan Neufeind 2017-09-15 22:45:04 UTC
Seems the dependency is still a problem here:

rror: Package: rancid-3.2-3.el7.x86_64 (epel-testing)
           Requires: perl(newgetopt.pl)

Comment 5 Stefan Neufeind 2017-09-18 11:29:17 UTC
afaik perl(newgetopt.pl) should be offered by perl-Perl4-CoreLibs. Manualy installing that dep before didn't resolve the issue. Ignoring that one missing dep when installing rancid worked however and rancid seems to work. Is it just a naming-issue maybe? How could the package have been built when the dep does not exist/validate?

Comment 6 Sebastian Ahndorf 2017-09-18 14:30:16 UTC
newgetopt.pl is provides bei perl-Getopt-Long, but unfortunately the rpm does not include a related "Provides:" statement in the spec File.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1481811#c9

Comment 7 Stefan Neufeind 2017-09-18 14:39:20 UTC
Or if easier: Can we maybe have the rancid-package simply depend on perl-Getopt-Long?

Comment 8 Sebastian Ahndorf 2017-09-18 14:46:39 UTC
I don't think this will fix the issue, because the dependency to perl(newgetopt.pl) comes from some perl file shipped with rancid and not from the rancid RPM .spec file.

I have filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1492742 to fix this in perl-Getopt-Long RPM.
