It was changed from an install time test to a runtime test for Python.
Yes, this means you can now install the package and think everything is

There is a patch but it needs to be applied to Perl. Perl is part of the

These warnings will be cleaned up when we either update to msys2, update
Perl some other way, or patch the ancient version of Perl that we are
using.
