Description Timothy Redaelli 2018-08-14 14:21:55 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1494462 +++

Description of problem:

dpdk-pmdinfo appears to require elftools.

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

dpdk-tools-16.11.2-4.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install dpdk-tools on a minimal install that does not have python-pyelftools.noarch installed
2. run dpdk-pmdinfo
3. Get:

# dpdk-pmdinfo 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dpdk-pmdinfo", line 19, in <module>
    from elftools import __version__
ImportError: No module named elftools


Actual results:

See above.

Expected results:

I don't know, I was running it out of curiosity, but I didn't expect the python backtrace! ;)

Additional info:

Installing python-pyelftools fixes this:

# yum install python-pyelftools
<etc>
# dpdk-pmdinfo 
Usage: dpdk-pmdinfo [-hrtp] [-d <pci id file] <elf-file>

Comment 2 Jean-Tsung Hsiao 2018-09-18 12:58:19 UTC

The dpdk-pmdinfo binary is now missing from dpdk-tools package. Thus, the issue doesn't exist any more.
