Description Tuomo Soini 2017-05-22 14:58:36 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1305746 +++

Description of problem:

The package pypolicyd-spf requires python-pydns to make dns TXT queries for SPF checking. Unfortunately, python-pydns-2.3.6-1 contains a bug that causes all queries to fail.

This apparently has already been fixed and there is a patch from upstream, more details here:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/python-dns/vivid/view/head:/debian/patches/pydns_timeout.patch

and here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718547


Apparently, the issue was fixed in later versions of python-pydns 2.3.6-3, which is available in Fedora 23, but not EPEL.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Just compared files, apparently the Fedora package with higher version number does not include the Debian patch.

This bug is really annoying and makes python-pydns unusable. Please fix it.

Tested that referenced patch fixes the issue.

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. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

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.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2020-11-30 15:06:01 UTC

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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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.
