It seems to me that this bug is present on RHEL-7 too, at least the respective test is failing. Please double check if the fix is needed.

rpm-4.11.3-17.el7

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1268021 +++

rpm-4.8.0-47.el6 fails to find `perl(strict)' in /usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm:

# /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req /usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm 
perl >= 0:5.006
perl(Config)
perl(Cwd)
perl(Exporter)
perl(File::Basename)
perl(File::Spec)
perl(Symbol)
perl(re)
perl(vars)

While perl.req from rpm-4.8.0-38.el6_6 works as expected:

# /tmp/perl.req /usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm 
perl >= 0:5.006
perl(Config)
perl(Cwd)
perl(Exporter)
perl(File::Basename)
perl(File::Spec)
perl(Symbol)
perl(re)
perl(strict)
perl(vars)


The relevant /usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm text is:

#########################################################
package
  ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines;
use strict;
use vars qw($SECTION_END_MARKER);


This is regression introduced in rpm-4.8.0-39.

I found it when building perl into rhel-6.7.z to fix bug #1267920. It also removed some other autogenerated run-requires. See <https://errata.devel.redhat.com/rpmdiff/show/132064?result_id=3380073> for full listing.
