Comment 1 Ondrej Lichtner 2017-01-26 15:32:33 UTC
Hi,

what pyroute2 version do you have? This seems like a call to an incompatible version of the library.

Comment 2 Jarod Wilson 2017-01-26 16:52:40 UTC
I'll take a look at that later this afternoon. Not sure when the last time I updated userspace on this install. If that's all it is, I guess the lnst package will need a versioned Requires: for pyroute2.

Comment 3 Jarod Wilson 2017-01-26 20:11:30 UTC
$ rpm -q python-pyroute2
python-pyroute2-0.3.3-1.el6.noarch

$ sudo yum upgrade python-pyroute2
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security

I see python-pyroute2 v0.3.14 on my el7 boxes.

Comment 6 Ondrej Lichtner 2017-02-20 08:49:30 UTC
So I've talked to the pyroute2 developer and got him to update the packages. I've quickly tried it on a RHEL6.8 virt machine and it seems to work.

I agree that for a full resolution of the issue, the lnst package should have a versioned Requires for the pyroute2 package, but since it shouldn't be an urgent thing now that it works, I'll leave the fix for later when I get to releasing a new lnst version. I'll keep this bug open until then so I don't forget to do it...

Jarod: can you try it out and confirm that everything works now?

This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
