pulseaudio-equalizer failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f31 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=36637023 For details on the mass rebuild see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_31_Mass_Rebuild Please fix pulseaudio-equalizer at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks, pulseaudio-equalizer will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 32, pulseaudio-equalizer will be retired, if it still fails to build.

After the mass rebuild the version of pulseaudio-equalizer from f29 no longer worked on f31. When I got the latest source, the f29 src.rpm, and built it locally, it failed to build because the shebang was ambiguous, python instead of python2 or python3. I fixed it to be python3, and converted all the print statements, and the package built fine, and installed fine. Note that I have also built the ladspa-swh-plugin package from the f29 src.rpm locally and installed it. Pulseaudio-equalizer requires that package to function. So after I installed the 'fixed' package, it will not start. These are the errors in journalctl -r.

So, I don't think the labeling should have caused a problem, but maybe it did. The same failure occurs if I change the version of python to be python2 explicitly. I've attached the patch I added to allow it to build, and the spec file that uses that patch.
Created attachment 1600431 [details] This changes the python to explicit python3 and puts parentheses on the print statements.
Created attachment 1600432 [details] This is the spec with the attached patch added to it.
An update: I was able to update pulseaudio to the 12.99 version. I then rebuilt the ladspa-swh-plugins package, reinstalled it, and built the pulseaudio-equalizer package. Both were built from the F29 src.rpm using rpmbuild locally, and both reinstalled without error. When I then try to start pulseaudio-equalizer, I get the following errors in journalctl -r.

I've built lots of src.rpm packages locally this way without problem. What does that even mean?
After thinking about it, the message about the improper key is from abrt. The actual problem is the unhandled exception. So, I ran the program from a terminal, and it turns out that there were mixed tabs and spaces for indentation. When I edited the file, it reset to spaces for all whitespace. Disaster! I'll clean it up, and it should probably build and run fine after that.
After cleaning up the indentation by replacing everything with spaces when using a tabstop of 8, the code looks ugly, but the indentation is correct. I then discovered that this program has a python2 problem. The modules used are for python2 only, and do not exist for python3. I don't even see any similar modules. This uses gtk2, and the modules pygtk and gtk. I don't find py3gtk2 or py3gtk3 or gtk3 modules. I suspect the interface has changed in gtk3; that's a show stopper for me as I don't know gtk at all, so it would be hard to translate the gtk2 code to gtk3. In the future the only way to use this will be with legacy python2 or possibly as a module that contains all the necessary obsolete plumbing. I think this is just an indicator that the end of python2 is going to remove a lot of functionality from linux. I'll attach the patch that fixes the indentation errors. The previous patch that converted to python3 is obviously not needed anymore, so this patch can replace it in the spec file.
Created attachment 1601814 [details] Converts all tabs to spaces with a tabstop of 8 in order to correct indentation problems. This can be used instead of the python3 conversion patch, as that is no longer necessary since the program is indelibly python2. Or, it can be used in addition to the python3 conversion patch with the python3 in the first line changed to python2.
The program run as python2 no longer starts from the menu or a desktop icon. It has to be invoked explicitly as python2 /usr/share/pulseaudio-equalizer/pulseaudio-equalizer.py in a terminal. It then runs fine.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'.
Dear Maintainer, your package has not been built successfully in 31. Action is required from you. If you can fix your package to build, perform a build in koji, and either create an update in bodhi, or close this bug without creating an update, if updating is not appropriate [1]. If you are working on a fix, set the status to ASSIGNED to acknowledge this. Following the latest policy for such packages [2], your package can be orphaned if this bug remains in NEW state more than 8 weeks. A week before the mass branching of Fedora 32 according to the schedule [3], any packages which still have open FTBFS bugs from Fedora 31 will be retired. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy [2] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/ [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/32/Schedule
Automation has figured out the package is retired in Fedora 31. If you like it to be unretired, please open a ticket at https://pagure.io/releng/new_issue?template=package_unretirement
