Description Matěj Cepl 2011-10-28 18:00:10 UTC
Created attachment 530705 [details]
build log from fedpkg local

Description of problem:
I have configured Python's easy_install to install packages to /usr/local/lib/python*/site-packages (as described in bug 662034 comment 3). However, then when I tried to rebuild a another Fedora package (python-werkzeug) with fedpkg local rpmbuild tried to install to /usr/local/lib and build failed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-build-4.8.0-19.el6.x86_64
python-setuptools-0.6.10-3.el6.noarch
python-2.6.6-29.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.configure easy_install to install unpackaged Python modules from PyPI
2.try fedpkg local (rpmbuild --rebuild) of some python-* package
3.
  
Actual results:
build fails

Expected results:
somewhere during the Python process should default configured be restored

Comment 1 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2011-10-28 18:51:13 UTC
This is a problem somewhere in the python stdlib or python-setuptools (since python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"  returns /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages as it should but python setup.py install --root puts things in /usr/local).  Reassigning to python.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 14:37:41 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 16:50:38 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 13:56:48 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
