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.

Description Deepu K S 2016-08-10 17:19:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
Files find.pl, getopt.pl and getops.pl missing from perl package even though it is listed under perl rpm provides
These files were present in RHEL 6, however it seems to be discontinued with RHEL 7. However, checking perl package 'provides' shows these files as included.

# rpm -q --provides perl|egrep '\(getopts?.pl|find.pl'
perl(find.pl)
perl(getopt.pl)
perl(getopts.pl)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
perl-5.16.3-286.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check the perl provides list. It shows these files.
2. Checking the package file list doesn't have this included.
3.

Actual results:
# rpm -q --provides perl|egrep '\(getopts?.pl|find.pl'
perl(find.pl)
perl(getopt.pl)
perl(getopts.pl)

# rpm -ql perl|egrep 'getopt|find.pl'
#

Expected results:
Include the files in RHEL 7.

# rpm -ql perl|egrep 'getopt|find.pl'
/usr/share/perl5/find.pl
/usr/share/perl5/getopt.pl
/usr/share/perl5/getopts.pl
/usr/share/perl5/newgetopt.pl

Comment 1 Jitka Plesnikova 2016-08-11 06:57:53 UTC 
The utils wre deprecated in Perl 5.12.0. More information see on page

http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/perl-5.16.3/pod/perl5120delta.pod#Deprecations

Look for "Numerous Perl 4-era libraries"


They were removed from core in Perl 5.16.0 and could be found on CPAN as Perl4::CoreLibs.

http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/perl-5.16.3/pod/perl5160delta.pod#Removed_Modules_and_Pragmata


We forgot to remove the utils from perl provides.

How to test:

Check that the deprecated files below are not listed in perl-5.16.3-290.el7 provides:
perl(abbrev.pl)
perl(assert.pl)
perl(bigfloat.pl)
perl(bigint.pl)
perl(bigrat.pl)
perl(cacheout.pl)
perl(complete.pl)
perl(ctime.pl)
perl(dotsh.pl)
perl(exceptions.pl)
perl(fastcwd.pl)
perl(find.pl)
perl(finddepth.pl)
perl(flush.pl)
perl(ftp.pl)
perl(getcwd.pl)
perl(getopt.pl)
perl(getopts.pl)
perl(hostname.pl)
perl(importenv.pl)
perl(look.pl)
perl(newgetopt.pl)
perl(open2.pl)
perl(open3.pl)
perl(pwd.pl)
perl(shellwords.pl)
perl(stat.pl)
perl(syslog.pl)
perl(tainted.pl)
perl(termcap.pl)
perl(timelocal.pl)
perl(validate.pl)


Current result should be:
$ rpm -qp --provides perl-5.16.3-290.el7.x86_64.rpm | grep '\.pl'
perl(bytes_heavy.pl)
perl(dumpvar.pl)
perl(perl5db.pl)
perl(utf8_heavy.pl)

How to test:

Check that the deprecated files below are provided by perl-Perl4-CoreLibs-0.001-291.el7:
perl(abbrev.pl)
perl(assert.pl)
perl(bigfloat.pl)
perl(bigint.pl)
perl(bigrat.pl)
perl(cacheout.pl)
perl(complete.pl)
perl(ctime.pl)
perl(dotsh.pl)
perl(exceptions.pl)
perl(fastcwd.pl)
perl(find.pl)
perl(finddepth.pl)
perl(flush.pl)
perl(getcwd.pl)
perl(getopt.pl)
perl(getopts.pl)
perl(hostname.pl)
perl(importenv.pl)
perl(look.pl)
perl(newgetopt.pl)
perl(open2.pl)

perl(shellwords.pl)
perl(stat.pl)
perl(syslog.pl)
perl(tainted.pl)
perl(termcap.pl)
perl(timelocal.pl)
perl(validate.pl)

The only removed provides is perl(ftp.pl). The file was also missing in Perl 5.10.1.
