Description of problem:

installation of python-dns fails. I have attempted to install various versions; none works. Following http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/261521/how-to-engage-with-fedora-23-error-message-in-dnf-install-error-of-dnspython/ I have also run "sudo dnf clean packages" and attempted install again. No success.

rpm -K Downloads/python-dns-1.12.0GIT465785f-1.fc23.noarch.rpm resulted in "sha1 md5 OK".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.12.0GIT465785f-1.fc23 

I run Linux 4.3.4-300.fc23.x86_64 on arch x86_64. 





How reproducible: I have been reproducing this error consistently with several versions over a week. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install python-dns
2. accept download

Actual results:

dnf output is:

Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
Transaction test succeeded.

Comment 1 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2016-02-12 20:41:52 UTC

I usually get this when I've used pip to install/upgrade dnspython.  This can happen inadvertently when using pip to install some other python package that has dnspython as a dependency.  Try manually removing anything in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ related to dnspython and then try installing with dnf again.

Comment 2 ingli 2016-02-12 22:34:04 UTC

Manually removing dnspython* in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ allowed successfully running dnf install python-dns.
