giblib upstream is dead. scrot was also dead, but has been taken up by other developers. https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/scrot/issues/22 will need to be resolved for Fedora to continue using it. I'll ping upstream again. Thanks for the quick reply and link to the upstream issue. *** Bug 1850366 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This package has changed maintainer in the Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component. *** Bug 1872039 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora 'version' of '31'. 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 Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 31 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. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. I am unable to find the scrot package at all in Fedora 33. ~ sudo dnf repolist repo id repo name cuda-fedora32-x86_64 cuda-fedora32-x86_64 docker-ce-stable Docker CE Stable - x86_64 fedora Fedora 33 - x86_64 fedora-cisco-openh264 Fedora 33 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 fedora-modular Fedora Modular 33 - x86_64 google-chrome google-chrome rpmfusion-free RPM Fusion for Fedora 33 - Free rpmfusion-free-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 33 - Free - Updates rpmfusion-nonfree RPM Fusion for Fedora 33 - Nonfree rpmfusion-nonfree-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 33 - Nonfree - Updates updates Fedora 33 - x86_64 - Updates updates-modular Fedora Modular 33 - x86_64 - Updates ~ sudo dnf install scrot Last metadata expiration check: 1:33:52 ago on Wednesday 11 November 2020 03:37:27 AM.

(In reply to Neil from comment #8) > I assume is no longer maintained/part of fedora. Indeed. Scrot depends on giblib that is no longer in Fedora since 32. I'm closing this issue since it's no longer revelant. I suggest using `maim` as an alternative for a CLI screenshot app. |
