Comment 1 Hubert Kario 2015-07-27 13:37:50 UTC
python-bugzilla-1.2.1-1.fc22.noarch

running 

  bugzilla query -b 12345

causes

  Server error: data must be a byte string

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2015-08-09 17:51:09 UTC
There was a thread about this here:

https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/python-bugzilla/2015-July/000417.html

Workaround is to remove python-ndg_httpsclient, but there's also a python-bugzilla workaround-ish patch to fix it too, I'll do builds with that soon
