Thanks for the report.
The new script that's run by that test uses Perl's Digest/CRC.pm module:

   Can't locate Digest/CRC.pm in @INC (@...

On an rpm-based system, you can install it with this:

   yum install -y perl-Digest-CRC

I'll adjust the test to skip (with a warning) rather than
to fail when that package is not available.

Just FYI, this is in Archlinux x86_64 (not rpm or deb based). I found that CRC.pm is provided by perl-string-crc32 (package separate from perl package). Thanks for your help.
