            Bug ID: 2207594
           Summary: perl-POSIX is missing a dependency on perl(locale)
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 36
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: perl
          Severity: medium
          Assignee: jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora



When debugging a CI timeout of perl-Crypt-URandom, I found that
"perl -MPOSIX -e 'POSIX::strerror(0);'" does not halt if perl-locale package is
not installed.

The cause is that POSIX::AUTOLOAD() actually compiles "require locale;" and the
failure, for an unclear reason, triggers an endless loop. I did not investigate
why the loop happens, but the missing dependency is a clear packaging mistake.

It seems that all Fedoras are affected.

I'm going to fix it in all Fedoras, if you do not object.

Reproducible: Always
