Description Ryan Breaker 2017-01-08 23:26:35 UTC
Description of problem:
The cowsay package for Fedora 25 appears to be missing the perl-Encode package as a dependency.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.04

How reproducible:
Every time for fresh Fedora 25 installs.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a fresh Fedora minimal install, install cowsay: `dnf install cowsay`
2. Attempt to run cowsay: `echo foo | cowsay`

Actual results:
Can't locate Encode.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Encode module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/bin/cowsay line 18.

Expected results:
 _____
< foo >
 -----
        \   ^__^
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
                ||     ||

Additional info:
This is fixable by running `dnf install perl-Encode` which just appears to be a missing dependency for the package.

This is also my first bug report for Fedora so please let me know if there's anything else I could have done better with this report.
