Description of problem: python3-psutil is in RHEL 8, therefore needs to be removed from EPEL. RHEL 8 has 5.4.3-10.el8. EPEL has 5.6.3-5.el8.
Indeed, seems to be the case. ;( Adding the person who did the branch in case I am missing something...
Hmm, I wonder if it got added later. The only complication I see: # dnf repoquery --whatrequires python2-psutil Updating Subscription Management repositories. Last metadata expiration check: 0:02:47 ago on Wed 12 Feb 2020 04:22:40 PM MST. chrome-remote-desktop-0:79.0.3945.130-1.el8.x86_64 chrome-remote-desktop-0:79.0.3945.88-1.el8.x86_64 Though I really think we need to remove python2 deps from EPEL. Otherwise I'm fine with getting rid of it. Also, looks like it was updated for python3.8: python38-psutil.x86_64 5.6.4-3.module+el8.2.0+5234+f98739b6 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-beta-rpms
It looks like chromium is trying to get python2 out. But, as we see above, chrome-remote-desktop still needs python2-psutils. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1737935 https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2214 I've cc'ed Spot on this bug, maybe he can give us an updated estimate of how long he thinks it will take chromium to move to python3. If it's short (a couple months), I'd say we just rebuild python-psutils to not have python3-psutils, and then completely remove it when chromium is updated. If it's long (a year) I think we need to either think of a python2-psutils package, or possibly not have chrome-remote-desktop in epel8.
Upstream for chromium is no rush to port to Python3.

FEDORA-EPEL-2020-7117d686cf has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 8. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-7117d686cf
I've broken python2-psutil out to it's own spec file and dist-git repository. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python2-psutil/c/a755580e6edc79daf174f1f4c7ed7cfaa8f0b59b?branch=epel8 Once that makes it to stable, we can retire the epel8 branch of python-psutil.
FEDORA-EPEL-2020-7117d686cf has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 8 testing repository. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-7117d686cf See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.
FEDORA-EPEL-2020-7117d686cf has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 8 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
Whoops, looks like I left the "close bugs on stable" box checked in bodhi. This shouldn't be closed until python-psutil is retired in EPEL 8, which is now possible without disrupting packages that depend on python2-psutil.
Michel, dist-git is down right now for the infrastructure move, but IIRC you are the main admin of this package. Would you mind retiring the epel8 branch once dist-git is back online?
Retired. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-psutil/c/bc32d4738da136e94ef7cfc9d3cb346d6730ad4a?branch=epel8
