When building a package with rpm 4.20.0 beta from core/backports_testing there are errors in mock build.log: error: Couldn't exec /usr/lib/rpm/perl.prov: No such file or directory error: Couldn't exec /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req: No such file or directory Rpm upstream removed perl dependency generators from the repo in 4.20.0 alpha: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/8eac3304261f229d380246cc773e88fac3c22282 However both removed files are still referenced in rpm-build's /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perllib.attr and /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perl.attr. There is a new upstream available for the removed generators: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/perl-rpm-packaging Should we pkg the removed files, or patch upstream fileattrs to use our patched perl dep generators coming from rpm-setup?
I think we must package the files in https://github.com/rpm-software-management/perl-rpm-packaging because the upstream reason to not include in 'core' rpm is 'These are far better maintained by the Perl community'

Added perl.{prov,req} from 'new' upstream to rpm-mageia-setup-2.80-3.mga10 in core/backports_testing where rpm-4.19.92-1.mga10 also lives.
