Hello,

Fedora Packaging Guidelines allow dependencies only on files/directories from
/usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /etc directories[0].
Your package depends on files/directories outside of those. See below for more
information about package/dependencies.

---
perl-File-LibMagic-1.16-6.fc31.src:
  - /usr/include/magic.h
---

Please correct those or provide reason why is it correct.
It is very important to not download huge filelists.xml just because few
packages in distribution depend on non-standard paths.

Thanks for cooperation!

--- Comment #1 from Paul Howarth <paul(a)city-fan.org&gt; ---
Well that one's been there since before I took over the package. I could have
sworn there was language in the guidelines about file/dir Requires being
deprecated but not necessarily BuildRequires like this one, but I can't see
anything about that even in old guidelines. Typically I'd use a file build
dependency like this when the file concerned had moved between packages, thus
avoiding a conditional.

Anyway, none of that matters in this case. Fixed in Rawhide:
