This issue has been triggered by building

Mon Jan  2 10:44:51 2012 (eid 4227982) file-5.10-1.fc17 tagged into f17
by jkaluza [still active]

and fixed by building

Tue Jan 10 09:58:44 2012 (eid 4250166) rpm-4.9.1.2-10.fc17 tagged into
f17 by pmatilai [still active]

(together with a fix for Perl detection

Tue Jan 10 08:54:43 2012 (eid 4250009) file-5.10-4.fc17 tagged into f17
by jkaluza [still active]

).

Considering koji build root regeneration, all (Perl and Python) packages
whose build task started between post-event-4227982 rotation and
post-4250009-event rotation are affected.

Unfortunatally I don't know, how to ask koji for the post-event
rotations and how to select packages based on build start time. Any
idea?

These packages need rebuilding to assure correct dependencies.
