RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: rpm-4.11.3-10.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
If a Perl script in a package contained a string declared as a here-document that included the "use" or "require" words, or a multiline string with these words, the package in some cases had incorrect dependencies when it was created using the "rpmbuild" command. Now, the "use" and "require" strings are ignored as keywords in here-documents and multiline strings, which prevents the problem from occurring.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2138 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE rpm bug fix and enhancement update 2015-11-19 10:39:52 UTC

Description Marek Marusic 2015-02-10 13:46:46 UTC 
Present also on RHEL7

Version-Release number of selected component:
4.11.1-25.el7

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1024517 +++

Description of problem:
/usr/lib/rpm/perl.req returns wrong set of required modules for rpm-build spec files, since it has a parsing bug when a comment in perl module starts with "use something etc" (perl.req returns depencency on perl(something).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-build-4.8.0-32.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
- the bug is reproducable with certain version of some SpamAssassin module, which was later fixed to prevent such bugs with rpm-builds perl.req scripts


Steps to Reproduce:
1. curl -o /tmp/DependencyInfo.pm "http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Util/DependencyInfo.pm?revision=1531991&view=co"
2. /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req /tmp/DependencyInfo.pm

Actual results:
perl(bytes)
perl(re)
perl(strict)
perl(these)
perl(vars)
perl(warnings)

Expected results:
perl(bytes)
perl(re)
perl(strict)
perl(vars)
perl(warnings)

Additional info:
The script is parsing also through comments section of perl module, so it wrongly parses out comments starting with "use XXXX asdfasd" in the beginning of the line.
