Description Otto Liljalaakso 2025-03-08 20:24:46 UTC

I have python3-libgpiod installed on my Fedora 41 system. Testing upgrade path to Fedora 42 fails due to Fedora 42 not having that package. I see that the Python package has been intentionally temporarily removed [1]. Please either bring it back, or add it to fedora-obsolete-packages, in time for Fedora 42.

Failed to resolve the transaction:
Problem: installed package python3-libgpiod-2.1.3-1.fc41.x86_64 requires libgpiod(x86-64) = 2.1.3-1.fc41, but none of the providers can be installed
  - libgpiod-2.1.3-1.fc41.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Peter Robinson 2025-03-09 10:40:32 UTC

Yes, known issue, on my todo list to fix RSN, upstream changed a bunch of stuff and it's proven a little problematic. Thanks for the bug report so we can track it, I meant to file one.

Comment 2 Oleg Girko 2025-03-28 15:17:17 UTC

Please make Python package available before Fedora 42 release date.
A very important package in my OBS is dependent on it:

Comment 4 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2025-04-03 14:16:33 UTC

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 42-final by Fedora user pbrobinson using the blocker tracking app because:

 This causes upgrade path issues and is used by IoT, Robotics and other such usecases so it would be useful to have a fix as a FE

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2025-04-03 21:47:46 UTC

+4 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1831 , marking accepted FE.
