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 (xcat) Fails To Install in Fedora 37:

can't install xcat:
  - nothing provides python3.11dist(cchardet) needed by xcat-1.0.4-8.fc37.noarch
  
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. To reproduce, use the koji/local repo only, e.g. in mock:

    $ mock -r fedora-37-x86_64 --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=local install xcat


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 Miro Hrončok 2022-06-20 10:10:42 UTC
This bugzilla is likely a fallout from the Python 3.11 rebuild.

If your package (or some of the dependencies it has) failed to rebuild during the Python 3.11 rebuild, they now fail to install. To fix this, packages need to be rebuilt in Rawhide.

We will slowly triage the bugzillas, but we'd appreciate your help.

If you know this is blocked by an existing reported build failure or another package not yet rebuilt with Python 3.11, please mark it as such by using the "Depends On"/"Blocks" bugzilla fields. That will help us determine what failures to prioritize.

If this is not Python 3.11 related, please remove the PYTHON3.11 blocking tracker.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know if you need any help.

Hello,

This is the first reminder (step 3 from https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/#_package_removal_for_long_standing_ftbfs_and_fti_bugs).

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.

This will be fixed if 2021804 is fixed, nothing needs to be done to xcat. So setting to ASSIGNED.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2022-07-15 23:35:13 UTC
additionally I'm not sure xcat *really* needs cchardet. It never imports anything from it, the dep was added in a commit that doesn't obviously do anything with it, and it's listed like this in poetry.lock:

[package.extras]
speedups = ["aiodns", "brotlipy", "cchardet"]

so it may be plausible to just patch it out of pyproject.toml so we don't pick it up as a requirement?

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2022-07-16 06:03:21 UTC
> so it may be plausible to just patch it out of pyproject.toml so we don't pick it up as a requirement?

I agree with this observation.

BTW by setting this, you prevent the process of getting this packaged orphaned when the maintainer is not doing anything, which id not helpful.

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=89659952 should be good.
