RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: python3-3.6.8-29.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
On 64-bit architectures, python3.6-config --configdir returned path like /usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu which doesn't exist. The command now returns the expected path: /usr/lib64/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu ("/usr/lib64" instead of "/usr/lib").

Clone of bz#1772988:

Description of problem:

On RHEL 8 UBI x86_64 (I haven't checked other versions) on all Python versions (python 3.6 and platform-python), the following command displays incorrect information:

> $ python3.6-config --configdir
> /usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu

In all cases it points to /usr/lib, when it should point to /usr/lib64, where the file actually exists. E.g.:

> $ ls -alh /usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu
> ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu': No such file or directory
> $ ls -alh /usr/lib64/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu

Comment 1 Victor Stinner 2019-11-19 14:53:35 UTC 
I confirm the issue with python36-devel-3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7.x86_64 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.2 Beta:

$ sudo dnf install -y python36-devel
$ python3.6-config --configdir
/usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu
$ ls /usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu': No such file or directory

whereas /usr/lib64/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu exists:

$ ls /usr/lib64/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu
Makefile  Setup.config  __pycache__  config.c.in  makesetup         python.o
Setup     Setup.local   config.c     install-sh   python-config.py
Comment 2 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2020-01-14 14:12:53 UTC 
This bug has a low priority for us. Let us know if you need a fix soon.
Comment 4 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2020-03-11 12:33:06 UTC 
> Could I get a fix in RHEL 8.3?

That's the current plan.
Comment 5 Victor Stinner 2020-04-03 17:33:56 UTC 
Ok, I identified the root issue and I'm working on a fix in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1772988 Then the plan is to backport the fix to RHEL.
Comment 6 Honza Horak 2020-05-06 06:42:22 UTC 
Alex, as for the testing part of this bug, can we just leave the verification on the freeradius team? You'll probably be best to tell whether the fix addresses your issue.
Comment 7 Alex Scheel 2020-05-06 13:15:55 UTC 
Honza,

Sounds good. Let me know when this is implemented so I can try a FreeRADIUS build. Thanks!
Comment 9 Victor Stinner 2020-06-19 12:18:04 UTC 
The package python3-3.6.8-29.el8 is now ready for tests.
