Description of problem: Starting with Perl 5.24, perl will echo a deprecation warning when Bugzilla uses the Slurp library with a utf8 handle. I received this warning when the daily cron job installed by Bugzilla fires. /etc/cron.daily/bugzilla.cron: sysread() is deprecated on :utf8 handles at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Slurp.pm line 225. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bugzilla-5.0.3-3.fc25.noarch perl-5.24.1-384.fc25.x86_64 perl-File-Slurp-9999.19-15.fc25.noarch Additional info: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=826415
The best thing to do would be to backport the upstream patch that makes Bugzilla use File::Slurper (which doesn't have the issue) instead of File::Slurp. This will make the requirements of the bugzilla package change post-release but that's just the way things are.
