<p>This is actually a bug in Bugzilla...</p>
<p>I filed it here:<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2069203" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2069203</a></p>
<p>It's a one-line fix, just change the `use base` on line 751 to
`use parent`.</p>
<p>It's also a regression of a bug that was previously fixed and
someone broke it again. :-(</p>
<p>This fix will be included in version 5.2.1, which is due to
release within the next week or so if all goes well.</p>

<div>Hi Everyone.</div>

<div>We run Bugzilla 5.0.4 on Red Hat 7.9 using Oracle for the
bugs database. I am trying to upgrade to Bugzilla 5.2 on Red
Hat 8.10. When I run <a href="http://checksetup.pl" target="_blank">checksetup.pl</a> it ends Perl
compile error. I am confident the settings for $db_driver,
$db_host, $dbname, $db_user and $db_pass are all correct.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is the output I am seeing:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>** terminal output **<br>
Checking for mod_version (any) ok<br>
Reading ./localconfig...<br>
Checking for DBD-Oracle (v1.19) ok: found v1.95<br>
There was an error connecting to Oracle:<br>
<br>
'oracle' is not a valid choice for $db_driver in
localconfig: Base class package "-norequire" is empty.<br>
(Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that
package first,<br>
or make that module available in @INC (@INC contains: .
lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi lib /usr/local/lib64/perl5
/usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl

<br>
Compilation failed in require at (eval 593) line 1,

<br>
This might have several reasons:<br>
<br>
* Oracle is not running.<br>
* Oracle is running, but there is a problem either in the<br>
server configuration or the database access rights. Read the
Bugzilla<br>
Guide in the doc directory. The section about database
configuration<br>
should help.<br>
* Your password for the 'myuser' user, specified in $db_pass,
is<br>
incorrect, in './localconfig'.<br>
* There is a subtle problem with Perl, DBI, or Oracle. Make<br>
sure all settings in './localconfig' are correct. If all
else fails, set<br>
'$db_check' to 0.<br>
