Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1002787
python-celery cannot be used because it has a runtime dependency on python-dateutil >= 1.5.0, which is unavailable
Last modified: 2013-10-25 13:39:59 EDT
I installed python-celery-2.2.8-1.el6.noarch today, and I attempted to start a Celery worker by running celeryd. celeryd generates a Python traceback, because it has a runtime requirement on python-dateutil >= 1.5.0. Unfortunately, only python-dateutil-1.4.1-6.el6.noarch is available on my system, as provided by Red Hat. EPEL does not seem to provide the necessary newer version of python-dateutil. The symptom is best demonstrated by simply trying to start celeryd: $ celeryd Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/celeryd", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2659, in <module> parse_requirements(__requires__), Environment() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 546, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: python-dateutil>=1.5.0,<2.0.0 In my opinion, the best solution is to provide a newer version of python-dateutil that will satisfy this dependency, and make the RPM for python-celery depend on that version. Thanks, and let me know if you need any further information!
Randy, could you please try the following: yum install python-dateutil15 and retry? It looks like there is a newer version available, but not marked as requirement: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2011-3947/python-dateutil15-1.5-1.el6 If that works, I'll fix the package.
Matthias, Thanks, that does seem to work!
