Description of problem: Goal.problems contains only text descriptions of found problems. I'm writing a new repoclosure tool and I need to parse the text to get information I need. I think 'problems' attribute should rather contain list of dicts or another structures. If I understand it correctly, there's Goal.describe_problem() to provide text description of a problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hawkey-0.4.8-1.fc20.x86_64 python-hawkey-0.4.8-1.fc20.x86_64 Actual results: ["nothing provides newt-python needed by authconfig-6.2.6-4.fc20.x86_64"] Expected results: [{"pkg": <pkg_object>, "category": "missing_dependency", "value": "newt-python"}] Additional info: Please note only 1 problem per package is returned. When I disabled System repo, I only got following problems: ["nothing provides /bin/sh needed by authconfig-6.2.6-4.fc20.x86_64"] There's nothing about missing python, newt-python or anything else.
Dan, what precisely would you do with the 'list of dicts' if hawkey provided them?
Current (yum-based) repoclosure returns following output: package: authconfig-6.2.6-4.fc20.x86_64 from foo unresolved deps: rtld(GNU_HASH) python(abi) = 0:2.7 python pam >= 0:0.99.10.0 newt-python libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libresolv.so.2()(64bit) libpwquality > 0:0.9 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/openssl /bin/sh I need the structures to group the problems and either print them in similar way as repoclosure does or return them as another structure for further processing.
Understood, it's probably a legit use case. Let's track this at a low prio.
*** Bug 1183120 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. 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 20 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.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 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.
I would recommend to close the bug report and implement it on direct request from API user to provide exactly what is needed. Please do you agree with me?
Yes, I'm fine with that.
