Summary

Updated package counts and removed entries for perl-Crypt-CBC, perl-Crypt-DES, perl-Email-Valid, and perl-Net-SNMP from removed packages list

Security assessment

Removal of cryptographic packages (perl-Crypt-CBC, perl-Crypt-DES) suggests deprecation of potentially insecure encryption implementations. These modules implement outdated algorithms like DES which have known security weaknesses. Their removal reduces attack surface for systems using AL2023.
