            Bug ID: 1165013
           Summary: perl owns dirs and ships dirs it should own nor ship
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 21
         Component: perl

Description of problem:

The "perl" package ships and owns several directories it should not ship:

E.g.
/usr/share/perl5/Locale
/usr/share/perl5/Log/Message
/usr/share/perl5/Archive
/usr/share/perl5/Perl
/usr/share/perl5/HTTP
/usr/share/perl5/App
/usr/share/perl5/JSON
/usr/share/perl5/Test

These are all empty and supposed to be owned by those packages, which actually
put something into these dirs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.18.4-305.fc21

How reproducible:
Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a look into the perl package and check it for empty dirs.
# rpm -qlv perl

Expected results:
perl not to ship nor own these directories.

Additional info:
* I'd guess these are missed %excludes, missed when splitting out dual-lifed
modules.
* I haven't checked all details yet, but I would expect the list above to be
incomplete.
