Description Patrick Laughton 2025-11-07 22:59:03 UTC
Upgraded system from Fedora 42 to Fedora 43. clatd did not automatically start, so I tried manually starting it, and received the following in journald:

Nov 07 22:27:46 derp systemd[1]: Started clatd.service - 464XLAT CLAT daemon.
Nov 07 22:27:46 derp clatd[15467]: Can't locate IPC/Cmd.pm in @INC (you may need to install the IPC::Cmd module) (@INC entries checked: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.42 /usr/local/share/perl5/5.42 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at /usr/sbin/clatd line 27.
Nov 07 22:27:46 derp clatd[15467]: BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/clatd line 27.
Nov 07 22:27:46 derp systemd[1]: clatd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
Nov 07 22:27:46 derp systemd[1]: clatd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

To absolutely zero surprise, `dnf install 'perl(IPC::Cmd)'` resolved the issue, I would just prefer that this be resolved for folks automatically in the future.

Thank you!

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 42
2. Install clatd
3. Upgrade from Fedora 42 to Fedora 43
4. Attempt to start clatd

Alternatively (probably):
1. Install Fedora 43
2. Install clatd
3. Attempt to start clatd
Actual Results:
clatd fails to start, citing IPC::Cmd missing

Expected Results:
clatd starts

Comment 1 Szymon Łągiewka 2025-12-29 20:05:13 UTC
+1 to this. I just reproduced it with the alternative path you described. Or at least partially. F42 upgraded to F43 and then installed the clatd package.

Comment 2 Ingvar Hagelund 2026-01-05 15:03:11 UTC
This was fixed in clatd-2.1.0-3 which is in rawhide. I'll push an update for f43 as well.
