mirrormanager2 cannot be installed in F30 due to a broken dependency: Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides python3.7dist(python-openid) needed by mirrormanager2-0.9.0-2.fc30.noarch Chasing this all down, I think the fundamental issue is that the true name of the python3 openid module is "python3-openid", not "python-openid", and so mirrormanager2's dependency metadata isn't correct. The python3.7dist dependencies are autogenerated from the egg-info metadata. python3-openid provides: python3.7dist(python3-openid) = 3.1.0 python3dist(python3-openid) = 3.1.0 This comes (I think) from its PKG-INFO file, which has "Name: python3-openid" (and not python-openid or just openid as you might expect). Meanwhile, mirrormanager2 has a requires.txt file which specifies python-openid, and so it gets the autogenerated dependency on "python3.7dist(python-openid)". A patch to change mirrormanager2's requires.txt to reference python3-openid (but not changing the dependencies on python-openid-cla or teams as those are fine) is the simple fix here. I've tested a quick patch and will send a PR.
Any ideas how to transparently handle this upstream as the code currently supports python2/python3? So far there have not been any versioned python dependencies.
I don't think so. Basically mirrormanager requires a completely different module when run under python3. It happens that it's importable under the sane name so the code doesn't have to change, but it's still a different module. I don't know enough about setuptools to say what the best way to handle that would be.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'.

This was fixed in 0.9.0-3: * Tue May 07 2019 Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs.edu> - 0.9.0-3 - Patch requirements.txt to avoid an autogenerated dependency on python3.7dist(python-openid) which cannot be satisfied. Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1707550
