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.

Greetings!
When build package in epel-8-x86_64 repository, an error constantly appears and the build stop:

Comment 1 Pavel Raiskup 2019-10-06 11:20:31 UTC 
I'm not sure what to do about this in copr/mock, we don't maintain perl in copr-team.
Flipping against RHEL 8 component.
Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2019-10-06 12:27:48 UTC 
Reproducible with 'autoconf-2.69-27.el8.src.rpm' rebuild, with
released rhel 8 chroots (config from mock-core-configs):
$ mock -r rhel-8-x86_64 --rebuild autoconf-2.69-27.el8.src.rpm
Comment 3 marketplace 2019-10-06 16:49:36 UTC 
I tried to build perl-generators package itself.

Comment 4 Stephen John Smoogen 2019-10-06 20:13:33 UTC 
The problem looks to be in the mock configurations. The EPEL-8 uses best=1 which ends up getting I think is confused with the 'pseudo' modules that perl and some other items are. [perl-generators-1.10-7.module_el8.0.0+50+c3b345cd.noarch is actually with perl-5.24 module while ./AppStream/x86_64/kickstart/Packages/perl-generators-1.10-7.el8.noarch.rpm looks like it isn't a module but is inside the 5.26 module. ]
