Description Adam Williamson 2018-07-30 23:04:22 UTC
The 'contextkit' package has an auto-generated dependency on /usr/bin/python2.5 brcause it ships many executables with "#!/usr/bin/env python2.5" hashbangs. Obviously, it cannot be installed on any extant Fedora due to this.

The package seems to be part of Maemo and hasn't been touched upstream since 2011. I suspect there's no good reason for us to be shipping it any more, and it should probably just be retired. Nothing seems to require it.

The maintainer is listed as jreznik, who doesn't seem to have been active since 2017. If you're still around, jaroslav, great - if not, I'll trigger the inactive maintainer process in a while and try to get this retired.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

Retired. Sorry for delays :(.
