Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2023-06-27 12:55:38 UTC
On Fedora rawhide, installation of ipsilon-infosssd now fails due to missing libsss_simpleifp dependency.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install ipsilon-infosssd
Actual Results:  
Last metadata expiration check: 0:04:57 ago on Tue Jun 27 12:50:04 2023.
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libsss_simpleifp needed by ipsilon-infosssd-3.0.4-6.fc39.noarch from rawhide
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)


Expected Results:  
No error, ipsilon-infosssd installed.

tl,dr: I think this is a bug in `ipsilon-infosssd` packaging.

`libsss_simpleifp` was a library providing C API to ifp dbus interface.
But from a quick glance I don't find `ipsilon-infosssd` actually using it.
It seems to use regular python dbus API to talk to ifp: https://pagure.io/ipsilon/blob/master/f/ipsilon/info/infosssd.py#_85

Thus I think `Requires: libsss_simpleifp` can be removed from `ipsilon.spec` (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ipsilon/blob/rawhide/f/ipsilon.spec#_222)

Btw, removal notice for 'libsss_simpleifp' was given in F38 RNs (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/release-notes/sysadmin/Security/#_the_sssd_sss_simpleifp_library_has_been_deprecated)
