Description of problem: heat-engine package needs python-pbr on runtime but it is not in the package dependencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-heat-engine 0.5.b3.el6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. heat-db-setup rpm -y -r xxx --password yyy 2. 3. Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/heat-manage", line 32, in <module> from heat.cmd import manage File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/heat/cmd/manage.py", line 29, in <module> from heat import version File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/heat/version.py", line 17, in <module> import pbr.version ImportError: No module named pbr.version
Fixed in current version: # rpm -q --whatrequires python-pbr openstack-heat-common-2013.2-0.7.b3.fc20.noarch
So this is confusing, in Fedora you added Requires: python-pbr and in el6-havana you removed it: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/openstack-heat.git/tree/remove-pbr-runtime-dependency.patch?h=el6-havana It should've been the latter everywhere, we did that in other openstack-* packages. PBR as runtime dep in Havana is wrong and will be left as a historical anecdote.
I did that only because the version of pbr in EPEL wouldn't work. A patch is preferred over adding a dependency?
(In reply to Jeff Peeler from comment #3) > A patch is preferred over adding a dependency? Yes, since that dependency is bogus and is being removed upstream.
