I noticed that packaged tests in /usr/libexec/... generates Provides because they are matched by perllib.attr: $ cat /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perllib.attr %__perllib_provides %{_rpmconfigdir}/perl.prov %__perllib_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/perl.req %__perllib_magic ^Perl[[:digit:]] module source.* %__perllib_path \\.pm$ %__perllib_flags magic_and_path I think they were meant to be only covered with perltest.attr: # cat /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perltest.attr %__perltest_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/perl.req %__perltest_magic ^.*[Pp]erl[[:digit:]]* .*$ %__perltest_path /usr/libexec/.*\\.(pl|pm|t)$ %__perltest_flags magic_and_path But perltest.attr is more similar to perl.attr, it's about scripts: $ cat /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perl.attr %__perl_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/perl.req %__perl_magic ^.*[Pp]erl .*$ %__perl_flags exeonly Would it be possible to change perllib.attr to match only files under /usr/{share,lib,lib64}/perl? Observed with perl-generators-1.13-5.fc36.noarch. (I find out that filtering those Provides with %__exclude_provides is a problem when the tests involve symlinks to modules in the main package. See perl-Module-Install-TestBase-tests-0.86-24.fc36 which erroneously provides perl(Module::Install::TestBase) <https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1892296>. I will try to work it around on packaged file level in perl-Module-Install-TestBase.)
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle. Changing version to 37.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '37'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle. Changing version to 40.
