And in this case was badly interpreted USAGE string as perl code. There is part of this: ... --requester-report-use-user-info|-u use ident information if available (*) ... "calamaris-2.59" stable version, which is in Fedora repo, has in USAGE string similar line: -u user (use ident information if available) (*) but perl.req logic in this case not evaluate it as code, thus things works OK. For now I will slightly modify USAGE string and it solve problem. Please, should I add entry to Bugzilla, when I built package which isn't in official Fedora repo?
