Hello,

Please note that this comment was generated automatically. If you feel that this output has mistakes, please contact me via email (mhroncok).

Your package (reaver) Fails To Install in Fedora 36:

can't install reaver:
  - nothing provides libiw.so.29()(64bit) needed by reaver-1.6.6-4.fc35.x86_64
  
If you know about this problem and are planning on fixing it, please acknowledge so by setting the bug status to ASSIGNED. If you don't have time to maintain this package, consider orphaning it, so maintainers of dependent packages realize the problem.


If you don't react accordingly to the policy for FTBFS/FTI bugs (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/), your package may be orphaned in 8+ weeks.

P.S. The data was generated solely from koji buildroot, so it might be newer than the latest compose or the content on mirrors.

P.P.S. If this bug has been reported in the middle of upgrading multiple dependent packages, please consider using side tags: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#updating-inter-dependent-packages

Thanks!
Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2021-12-13 20:59:26 UTC 
Hmm, it's not as simple as it seemed. Fedora is dropping wireless-extensions (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveWirelessExtensions), and it's dropping it from the user-space as from the kernel, thus dropping the bundling patch in reaver and re-bundling wireless-extensions will probably not help.

Fortunately, it seems reaver is using wireless-extensions only for the channel switching which could be probably ported to other libraries. I opened upstream issue about it (https://github.com/t6x/reaver-wps-fork-t6x/issues/349). As a temporal fix I will probably just drop the channel switching from the reaver.

The untested patch replaced the wireless-extension code for channel switching by the libnl3 implementation.
