+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2029995 +++

Please rebuild perl-Module-Loaded after perl-generators-1.14 lands in rawhide and f37 to pick up the perl(base) requirement as described below.

Description of problem: The package should include the 'perl-base' package as a required dependency, not a weak one. If weak dependencies are not enabled, then a perl error message will appear when trying to launch the program in a terminal.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kpcli.noarch 3.6-5.fc35


How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the package, "# dnf install kpcli --setopt=install_weak_deps=False"
2. Launch kpcli in a terminal emulator

Actual results:

"Can't locate base.pm in @INC (you may need to install the base module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.34 /usr/local/share/perl5/5.34 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at /usr/share/perl5/Module/Loaded.pm line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/Module/Loaded.pm line 6.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/kpcli line 45.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/kpcli line 45."


Expected results: The application does not show any errors


Additional info: The 'perl-base' package needs to be a required dependency

Reassigned to perl:

"BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/Module/Loaded.pm line 6."

"package Module::Loaded;

use strict;
use Carp qw[carp];

BEGIN { use base 'Exporter';"

>rpm -qf --qf='%{sourcerpm}\n' /usr/share/perl5/Module/Loaded.pm
perl-5.34.1-486.fc35.src.rpm

>rpm -q --requires perl | grep base
[no output]

More importantly, perl's subpackage perl-Module-Loaded is missing the "Requires: perl(base)":

>rpm -q --requires perl-Module-Loaded | grep base
[no output]

This is actually a bug in the perl-generators perl.req script:

>/usr/lib/rpm/perl.req ~/src/fedora/git/perl/perl-5.36.0/cpan/Module-Loaded/lib/Module/Loaded.pm
perl(Carp)
perl(strict)
perl(vars)

If you add a newline before the 'use base' line in Loaded.pm, it works correctly:

Thanks for the report, I'll look at it.
