Internal Links: 1543394

Description Paul Wouters 2018-03-17 14:36:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

On a minimal system without rpm-build, when the package redhat-rpm-config is not installed, the file /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 is not present.

when calling perl, it uses /usr/lib64/perl5/Config_heavy.pl which uses /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 leading to a compile file.


Fix: add Requires: redhat-rpm-config
Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2018-03-19 11:07:19 UTC 
Config refers to many external tools, like gcc, groff, libdb etc. It was decided that it does not make sense to require their providers just only because perl knows about them. It's a responsibility of the particular tools to defined the dependency if they need it. See bug #1481324.

In the long therm the Fedora hardening options will be removed from Config.
Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2018-04-19 14:59:49 UTC 
I will add a dependency on redhat-rpm-config to perl-devel. The dependency can be removed after implementing bug #1543394.
