Description Adam Williamson 2023-07-25 00:26:37 UTC
In the update to brltty 6.6, the versioning seems to have gone sideways. python3-brlapi still requires "brlapi%{?_isa} = %{api_version}-%{release}" - which works out to "brlapi(x86-64) = 0.8.5-1" - but brlapi's version is 6.6-1. So python3-brlapi is uninstallable.

The spec has pkg_version and api_version macros which were bumped to the right numbers (6.6 and 0.8.5 respectively), but a lot of subpackages had their Version changed to not use either macro, just be hardcoded as 6.6, including brlapi, which was previous "Version: %{api_version}".

This is breaking openQA tests of unrelated packages because it prevents system update from working.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have python3-brlapi-0.8.4-19.fc39 installed
2. Try and update from a repo with the new brltty packages in it

Actual Results:  
The update process fails due to unresolvable dependency issues

Expected Results:  
The update should work

Just for info, we have untagged the broken build from Rawhide - https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11566 - to unblock openQA tests and other processes for now.

Thank you, I've submitted a corrected build.
