Description Andrea Perotti 2021-01-11 11:54:51 UTC

Description of problem:

After upgrading to Fedora33, hexchat fails to load the python plugin.

This is caused by the lack of python3-cffi package.


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

hexchat-2.14.3-7.fc33.x86_64

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to Fedora 33
2. run hexchat
3. 

Actual results:

Python plugin is not loaded, so no python script works.

If you run hexchat from cli can be seen the error:

$ hexchat 
Failed to initialize the Python-CFFI embedding logic:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 984, in _find_and_load_unlocked
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_cffi_backend'

From: _hexchat_embedded
compiled with cffi version: 1.14.1
_cffi_backend module: not loaded
sys.path: ['/usr/lib64/python39.zip', '/usr/lib64/python3.9', '/usr/lib64/python3.9/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages']

function _hexchat_embedded._on_plugin_init() called, but initialization code failed.  Returning 0.


Expected results:

Loading python plugin as well.

If you install python3-cffi it works.

Checking last commit:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/hexchat/c/0803858a956c090d40f98998e9d1057d7fd040f5?branch=master

probably python3-cffi should not be only a BuildRequires but an explicit dependency.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2021-01-15 20:42:45 UTC

Indeed. Sorry about that, I thought it would get picked up automatically. ;( 

Update on the way...

Comment 2 Fedora Update System 2021-01-15 20:57:10 UTC

FEDORA-2021-ad7a37d9a1 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 33. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-ad7a37d9a1

Comment 3 Brian Morrison 2021-01-15 21:31:47 UTC

This won't install because the spec file contains:

Requires: python3-cff1

instead of

Requires: python3-cffi

I rebuilt it locally with this change and it upgrades just fine.

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2021-01-15 21:47:32 UTC

yes, I already noticed and fired new builds. Sorry for the typo.

Cheers Kevin, all good now.
