Description of problem: python-debian 0.1.27 requires python-six >= 1.4 (https://packages.debian.org/sid/python-debian) however the rpm does not specify this. On RHEL7 python-six version is 1.3.0 .. to old for python-debian to function properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.1.27-2.el7 How reproducible: execute: # python -c "from debian import deb822" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/debian/deb822.py", line 1481, in <module> @six.add_metaclass(_ClassInitMeta) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'add_metaclass' Since python-six is system-provided on RHEL7 I believe for now the only workaround allowing to fix the problem would be to downgrade EPEL7 python-debian to version: 0.1.21-10.el7 (the 0.1.26 is also affected by same problem) .. at least until RH decides to upgrade python-six on RHEL7 .. Thanks for considering Jarek
Ah. Sorry. However in RHEL7 there should be python-six-1.9.0-2.el7 and rhel 7.2 should be released soon.
Indeed, 7.2 will have python-six 1.9 - so I guess we can just wait for the release to happen. Thanks ! Jarek
rhel 7.2 is out with newer python-six. Therefore I'm closing this bug.
