Description Fedora Release Engineering 2025-01-22 21:33:30 UTC 
python-ethtool failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f42

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=128076636


For details on the mass rebuild see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_42_Mass_Rebuild
Please fix python-ethtool at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to
ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks,
python-ethtool will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 43,
python-ethtool will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2025-01-23 08:01:43 UTC 
The failure is:

+ mv /builddir/build/BUILD/python-ethtool-0.15-build/BUILDROOT/usr/bin/pifconfig /builddir/build/BUILD/python-ethtool-0.15-build/BUILDROOT/usr/bin/pifconfig
mv: '/builddir/build/BUILD/python-ethtool-0.15-build/BUILDROOT/usr/bin/pifconfig' and '/builddir/build/BUILD/python-ethtool-0.15-build/BUILDROOT/usr/bin/pifconfig' are the same file

From %install:

%install
...
mv %{buildroot}{%{_bindir},%{_sbindir}}/pifconfig
mv %{buildroot}{%{_bindir},%{_sbindir}}/pethtool


This is caused by https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin

However, this leaf package is de facto deprecated upstream, and I'd like to see it eventually retired.

Never mind then :D
Comment 6 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2025-01-23 09:09:38 UTC 
I was just providing some breathing space to calmly consider the retirement ;)
