Packages built with file >= 5.25-1.fc24 and < 5.25-3.fc24 can be broken

Good news to everyone,

There was a bug in `file' package that could break generating Perl
dependencies while building RPM packages.

The file got broken on 2015-11-05 in file-5.25-1.fc24 and fixed on 2015-11-20
in file-5.25-3.fc24. Only rawhide Fedora's branch was affected.

The effect of the bug was that Perl scripts were detected as Perl modules
mistakenly, thus RPM dependency generators for Perl modules instead of
generators for Perl scripts were performed on the Perl scripts. As a result,
packages delivering perl scripts in /usr/bin could miss /usr/bin/perl from
their run-time requires.

See <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279401> for more details.

I haven't yet tested koji builds from the 15-days period to know what packages
are actully broken. I will try it later and I will rebuild the broken ones.

Thanks belongs to Jan Kaluza, file maintainer, who fixed the bug.
