Description Petr Pisar 2021-02-18 13:39:18 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1807120 +++

Rebuilding perl-5.26.3-416.el8 from sources fails because a ../cpan/Time-Local/t/Local.t test fails like this:

../cpan/Time-Local/t/Local.t ....................................... 
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
Failed 2/187 subtests 
        (less 8 skipped subtests: 177 okay)
[...]
Test Summary Report
-------------------
../cpan/Time-Local/t/Local.t                                     (Wstat: 512 Tests: 187 Failed: 2)
  Failed tests:  6, 12
  Non-zero exit status: 2

That's a bug in the test that manifests since the beginning of 2020 year and fix exist in later upstream versions. I ported the fix to perl-5.28.2 in Fedora <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/perl/raw/f30/f/perl-5.28.2-Only-pass-2-digit-years-to-tests-when-testing-2-digi.patch> and it should be possible port it to 5.26.3 in RHEL.

-----

perl-5.16.3-294 in RHEL-7.7 is affected. This fix has already been applied as part of RHEL-7.9 bug #1751381.
