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 Petr Pisar 2017-01-05 08:49:36 UTC 
A new Perl packaging guidelines for Fedora offer `perl(:VERSION)' RPM dependency symbol for matching minimal Perl version. This is because perl's NEVRA is unusable for this purpose.

People sharing source packages between Fedora and EPEL desire to have perl(:VERSION) in RHEL. Adding this new Provide makes packaging for EPEL easier.

It's a simple matter of adding:

+Provides:       perl(:VERSION) = %{perl_version}

into perl-libs sub-package.
Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2017-06-29 12:05:39 UTC 
A new Perl packaging guidiles for Fedora will mandate using "perl-interpreter" instead of "perl" dependency for installing perl executable <https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/690>.

People sharing packages between Fedora and EPEL desire to have perl-interpreter in RHEL. Adding this new Provide makes packaging for EPEL easier.

The requested change is adding:

+Provides: perl-interpreter = %{perl_epoch}:%{perl_version}-%{release}

into perl sub-package.
Comment 2 Sergio Basto 2017-08-16 12:43:27 UTC 
+1 please add "Provides: perl-interpreter = %{perl_epoch}:%{perl_version}-%{release}" to perl package ASAP
Comment 4 Michael Petlan 2018-01-03 17:23:34 UTC 
Seems that ocaml source rpm cannot be rebuilt because it build-requires perl-interpreter package. I think we have everything necessary in perl package, so we don't actually need perl-interpreter as a separate package on RHEL. Also, with --nodeps it proceeds. Could this bug be fixed in RHEL-7.5, since we ship ocaml there and simple `rpmbuild --rebuild ocaml*src.rpm` fails? Looks like an easyfix. Thank you.
