Not affected.
Maybe this mistakenly created bug should actually serve us as reminder that python-pycurl should not be in EPEL-5 and should rather be removed. python-pycurl is part of RHEL-5, and EPEL is not expected/allowed to provide packages available in RHEL. Additionally, the version in EPEL-5 is older than what's in RHEL-5 - 7.15.5.1-4.el5 vs. 7.15.5.1-8.el5.
(In reply to Tomas Hoger from comment #7) > Maybe this mistakenly created bug should actually serve us as reminder that > python-pycurl should not be in EPEL-5 and should rather be removed. Reminder? So where was this originally reported then? The el5 branch was created back in 2007: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python-pycurl.git/commit/?id=1dcfc16e Should we remove it now?
Remind or indicate, however you prefer to word it. To me, having an EPEL bug for component also in RHEL is a red flag. As noted above, I do not see there's any point in keeping it in EPEL-5. I'm happy to file separate bug requesting removal.
I have retired the el5 branch in dist-git: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python-pycurl.git/commit/?h=el5 But I am not allowed to retire the branch in pkgdb: $ pkgdb-cli orphan --retire python-pycurl el5 You are not allowed to retire the package: python-pycurl on branch el5.
Have you tried looking at the following? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life It's linked from: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Policy_for_Conflicting_Packages
(In reply to Tomas Hoger from comment #11) > Have you tried looking at the following? Yes. That is where I found the 'pkgdb-cli orphan --retire ...' command. It did not work for me as you can see in comment #10.
Ok, so Fedora/EPEL rel-eng will need to be asked for help. Can you take care of that, or should I get involved in any way?
I have filed a rel-eng ticket for this: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6311
