In the RISC-V mass rebuild, some packages fail because Perl is missing. However they don't have 'BuildRequires: perl'. One example is 'telnet': https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/logs/telnet/0.17-65.fc24/build.log /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ksu80z: line 36: perl: command not found error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ksu80z (%build) http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/telnet.git/tree/telnet.spec No BuildRequires: perl [WARNING: The next URL may crash your browser] https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/blob/master/f/comps-f25.xml.in#_446 No perl in buildsys-build I have a vague recollection that this change was deliberate, and perl was removed from the "implicit" (buildsys-build) dependencies. However I cannot find anything about that. Is this right - are the packages themselves broken? If so I will add a BR: perl to the packages whenever I come across this problem. If not, what is the correct fix? I believe our buildsys-build packages are complete and equivalent to x86 ones.
