Description of problem: https://bitbucket.org/ambv/configparser/src configparser 3.5.0 has been release, please upgrade from 3.5.0b2 to 3.5.0. Note: due to package error (including b postfix in package version), you have to use epoch: $ rpmdev-vercmp 3.5.0b2 3.5.0 3.5.0b2 > 3.5.0 $ rpmdev-vercmp 3.5.0b2 1:3.5.0 3.5.0b2 < 1:3.5.0 to make upgrade work. Release is here: https://bitbucket.org/ambv/configparser/src
That can be done. The other option instead of using an epoch would be to wait for a later release, e.g. for 3.5.1: $ rpmdev-vercmp 3.5.0b2 3.5.1 3.5.0b2 < 3.5.1 Looking again for this package I can not understand why there is a python3 sub-package. The description is clear: "The ancient ConfigParser module available in the standard library 2.x has seen a major update in Python 3.2. This package is a backport of those changes so that they can be used directly in Python 2.6 - 3.5." Worse than that is that (on F28): # dnf repoquery --whatrequires python3-configparser ... bugwarrior-0:1.5.1-6.fc28.noarch copr-backend-0:1.118.git.2.74f5e274-1.fc28.noarch copr-rpmbuild-0:0.20-1.fc28.noarch python3-copr-0:1.90-1.fc28.noarch python3-doit-0:0.30.3-3.fc28.noarch rpkg-0:2.3-1.fc28.noarch So that we should notify those packages to drop the python3-configparser requirement.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '27'. 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 27 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 also prevent Sage-math from being launched, see bug 1663158
Created attachment 1537142 [details] Proposed updated spec file Since this is breaking sagemath in a stable distribution, we need to fix it ASAP. Attached is a proposed spec file to update to the latest released version of configparser. I propose that this be built for all current Fedora versions (i.e., F28 through F31), since all of them have a version of entrypoints that requires a newer version of configparser.
