I have installed rancid-3.2.3.el7.x86_64 referenced as the patch for this dependency failure, but I still get the same error.

same issue today, with rh 7.4

karma: -1

afaik perl(newgetopt.pl) should be offered by perl-Perl4-CoreLibs. Manualy installing that dep before didn't resolve the issue. Ignoring that one missing dep when installing rancid worked however and rancid seems to work. Is it just a naming-issue maybe? How could the package have been built when the dep does not exist/validate?

perl(newgetopt.pl) dependency was removed from perl-Perl4-CoreLibs and is now in the package perl-Getopt-Long. However, the perl-Getopt-Long rpm does not include the line "Provides: perl(newgetopt.pl)". Possible resolutions to this issue, as documented by #1406785 and #1481811, are: 1) Add "Provides: perl(newgetopt.pl)" to the perl-Getopt-Long rpm 2) Change the requirement in the RANCID rpm from the perl module "perl(newgetopt.pl)" to the package "perl-Getopt-Long"

If this package still requires perl(newgetopt.pl), as it appears to, then it will fail to install until the perl-Getopt-Long package is corrected.

This issue is resolved in RHEL 7, so I think this update can be closed?
