Description Petr Pisar 2023-01-17 12:56:57 UTC 
perl-File-RsyncP-0.76-10.fc38 source package delivers File-RsyncP-0.76/FileList/configure file which itsels was generated with Autoconf, but the original source for Autoconf tool (configure.in according to File-RsyncP-0.76/FileList/Makefile.PL is missing from the source archive and thus from the source package.

While the file is licensed as FSFULL which does not require distributing sources, it is deemed to be against Fedora spirit (and Packaging guidelines?) <https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/PLZ55U3F7I24DUUNK55WZ7GBLF3OIWJE/>.

We should either reimplement configure.in or remove this package from a distribution.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle.
Changing version to 38.
