           Summary: rpmbuild generates perl provides/depends differently
                    in F-10 than any prior level
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide

Description of problem:

rpm in F10+ processes Perl depends/requires differently than in any prior level
of Fedora.

e.g., see koji scratch builds of perl-Data-TreeDumper:

dist-f9:  https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=965620
dist-f10: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=965622
dist-f11: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=965644

Note dist-f9's list of provides/requires from the build.log:

Provides: 
  perl(Data::TreeDumper) = 0.35
Requires: 
  perl >= 0:5.006 
  perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.0) 
  perl(Carp) 
  perl(Check::ISA) 
  perl(Class::ISA) 
  perl(Exporter) 
  perl(Sort::Naturally) 
  perl(Text::Wrap) 
  perl(strict) 
  perl(warnings)

...and dist-f10, f11:

Provides: 
  perl(Data::TreeDumper) = 0.35 
  perl(Potatoe) 
  perl(SuperObject) 
  perl(SuperObjectWithAutoload) 
  perl(TiedArray) 
  perl(TiedHandle) 
  perl(TiedHash) 
  perl(TiedScalar) 
  perl(Vegetable)
Requires: 
  perl >= 0:5.006 
  perl(AutoLoader) 
  perl(Carp) 
  perl(Check::ISA) 
  perl(Class::ISA) 
  perl(Data::TreeDumper) 
  perl(Devel::Peek) 
  perl(Exporter) 
  perl(Sort::Naturally) 
  perl(Text::Wrap) 
  perl(Tie::Array) 
  perl(Tie::Handle) 
  perl(Tie::Hash) 
  perl(Tie::Scalar) 
  perl(strict) 
  perl(warnings)

Note the additional "provides" found under f10+ (e.g. perl(Potatoe)) are from
scripts stored in %_docdir, without their executable bit set; also note the
additional requires (e.g. perl(Tie::Array)) not present in the package built
under dist-f9.  This is a major change of behaviour from all versions prior to
F-10, and may result in many of the nearly 1000 Perl packages in Fedora to
start generating unexpected requires/provides when they're rebuilt.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.6.0-0.rc1.7
