Description Paolo Bonzini 2011-01-19 17:32:08 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #670861 +++

Description of problem:
The /usr/share/glib-2.0/gdb/glib.pyc and /usr/share/glib-2.0/gdb/gobject.pyc files are not packaged.  The Fedora packaging conventions for Python demand that the byte-compiled files are shipped in the packages (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Byte_compiling).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
all

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qf /usr/share/glib-2.0/gdb/* | sort -u
  
Actual results:
file /usr/share/glib-2.0/gdb/glib.pyc is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/glib-2.0/gdb/gobject.pyc is not owned by any package
glib2-devel-2.27.91-1.fc15.x86_64

Expected results:
glib2-devel-2.27.91-1.fc15.x86_64

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.
