Changes LGTM.

Removal of Platypus dependency is valid since we don't have the package yet and Checklib doesn't directly depend on the Platypus. Checklib provides a find_lib function that will return the full path to the found dynamic library, which can be feed directly
into FFI::Platypus or FFI::Raw

Platypus is a Perl library for creating interfaces to machine code libraries
written in languages like C, C++, Fortran, Rust, Pascal..

There is test failure in the dependency package which is not related to this package and need to be fixed separately.

@v-aaditya , can you update install verification for these RPMs since that never got executed due to test failure?

Buddy build has few failures which are due to dependent packages, perl-Return-MultiLevel. Minor version upgrade to extended repo package and small correction in another package. The license for upstream source is https://github.com/PerlAlien/Alien-pkgconf/blob/main/LICENSE, which GPL1+ hence GPL3 is acceptable. LGTM.
