Created attachment 865115 [details] changes the version checking logic for createrepo Description of problem: When running mrepo, I keep getting a warning that mrepo can not determine the version of createrepo. This causes some problems with the groupfile. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mrepo.noarch 0.8.7-2.el6 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run any mrepo command for example: /usr/bin/mrepo -vvvgu epel-x86_64 Actual results: mrepo: epel-x86_64: Version of createrepo could not be found. Assuming newer than 0.4.6. Expected results: Not print the message Additional info: Line 816 to 821 causes this problem, if you dry run this code you get the following output: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__' The latest revision of mrepo has a different approce in determining the version: try: try: import createrepo createrepo_version = createrepo.__version__ del createrepo except ImportError: import genpkgmetadata createrepo_version = genpkgmetadata.__version__ del genpkgmetadata This method fixes the problem. I attached a patch implementing this fix.
