Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1466955
virtaal depends on python 2 translate-toolkit which is not available in Fedora
Last modified: 2018-05-12 13:47:52 EDT
Description of problem: Cannot run virtaal, with the following traceback. It seems that the module is provided by translate-toolkit package, which only provides it for Python 3.6, but Virtaal needs it for python 2.7, which is apparently not provided in F26. % virtaal Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virtaal", line 23, in <module> from virtaal.common import pan_app File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtaal/common/__init__.py", line 21, in <module> import pan_app File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtaal/common/pan_app.py", line 27, in <module> from translate.misc import file_discovery ImportError: No module named translate.misc Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virtaal-0.7.1-10.fc26.noarch How reproducible: 100%
See also Bug: 1476574 for OmegaT, maybe this is an issue as 2 CAT-Tools are not working now. GTranslator & Poedit seem not to offer e.g. same kind of terminology management.
Also have this. On the other hand, even though I have translate toolkit installed for Python 3.6 (from the translate-toolkit package), I can’t run virtaal with Python 3, as it is not Python 3 compatible: $ python3 /usr/bin/virtaal File "/usr/bin/virtaal", line 62 print 'DEPENDENCY WARNINGS:' ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
This still affects Fedora 27 as well: $ virtaal Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virtaal", line 23, in <module> from virtaal.common import pan_app File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtaal/common/__init__.py", line 21, in <module> import pan_app File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtaal/common/pan_app.py", line 27, in <module> from translate.misc import file_discovery ImportError: No module named translate.misc Package: virtaal-0.7.1-11.fc27.noarch
By the way, a manual install of the translate-toolkit fixes this: sudo pip-2.7 install translate-toolkit Virtaal starts after the installation without errors.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '26'. 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 26 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.
