Description seferovic 2018-07-25 07:40:44 UTC

Description of problem:

RPM package python-setuptools-17.1.1-4.el7.noarch does not provide "python2-setuptools" virtual package for Python dependencies.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RPM Package 17.1.1-4.el4 from rhel-7-server-ose-3.9-rpms

How reproducible:
Installation of the RPM package

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Without the "rhel-7-server-ose-3.9-rpms" repository 

# yum install python-setuptools
# rpm -qa | grep python-setuptools
python-setuptools-0.9.8-7.el7.noarch

# rpm -q --provides python-setuptools
python-distribute = 0.9.8-7.el7
python-setuptools = 0.9.8-7.el7
python-setuptools-devel = 0.9.8-7.el7
python2-setuptools = 0.9.8-7.el7


2. With the "rhel-7-server-ose-3.9-rpms" repository

# rpm -qa |grep python-setuptools
python-setuptools-17.1.1-4.el7.noarch

# rpm -q --provides python-setuptools
python-distribute = 17.1.1-4.el7
python-setuptools = 17.1.1-4.el7

Actual results:
- missing python2-setuptools virtual package

Expected results:
- python-setuptools should provide python2-setuptools
