When libxml2 is rebuilt with python3.6 all things that use it's bindings get: Python 3.6.0rc1 (default, Dec 10 2016, 14:50:33) [GCC 6.2.1 20160916 (Red Hat 6.2.1-2)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import libxml2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in <module> import libxml2mod ImportError: /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: _PyVerify_fd >>> This is due to upstream python dropping this symbol: http://bugs.python.org/issue23524 I am not 100% sure here, but it looks like they dropped it in favor of just returning an error when an invalid fd is used. As a quick hack to get things working again in rawhide I have commited a simple patch that removes the call. Sorry if that breaks anything else or isn't the proper fix.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
Kevin, you committed a workaround, https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/libxml2.git/commit/?id=05bd5b911b635683e37431e9757284779b820072 Can we close this bug or would you rather keep it open for tracking purposes?
Well, the patch was super hacky, so I was hoping to have the maintainer talk to upstream about it or confirm that it was the right fix. I suppose we could close it, but perhaps should file an upstream bug so someday this might be fixed better or in an upstreamable way?
OK, agreed (marking MoveUpstream)
