Description Petr Pisar 2023-05-16 10:26:09 UTC

When debugging a CI timeout of perl-Crypt-URandom, I found that
"perl -MPOSIX -e 'POSIX::strerror(0);'" does not halt if perl-locale package is not installed.

The cause is that POSIX::AUTOLOAD() actually compiles "require locale;" and the failure, for an unclear reason, triggers an endless loop. I did not investigate why the loop happens, but the missing dependency is a clear packaging mistake.

It seems that all Fedoras are affected.

I'm going to fix it in all Fedoras, if you do not object.

Reproducible: Always
