Description Iryna Shcherbina 2017-03-13 10:10:45 UTC

The python3-lib389 RPM requires both Python 2 and Python 3.

Except in very special circumstances, there is no need for one package
to drag in both Python stacks. Usually, this is a packaging error: for
example, a stray "/usr/bin/python" shebang in a Python 3 package can
introduce a Python 2 dependency.

Please split your package, or remove the stray dependencies.
There is a section on shebangs in the Python RPM Porting Guide [0]
which covers this issue.

Besides this, the package is building two identical Python 2 subpackages, python-lib389 and python2-lib389. Only python2-lib389 should be built, which should provide both names.

It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 25 as well.


If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance, you can
ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here. We'll be happy
to help investigating or fixing this issue!

I'll investigate this.  I was trying to port someone else's changes to this spec file.  I might need help, but let me see what I can do first.  Thanks!

I was able to remove the duplicate package.  New builds are listed above.

Thank you for the change. Closing the issue.
