This has been in the broken dependencies report for sometime now. If its not to be supported in the FE 3 releases, then prehaps you should request it be removed form the FE 3 repos? ------ Summary of broken packages (by owner): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- andreas.bierfert AT lowlatency.de fluxbox - 0.9.15.1-1.fc3.i386 fluxbox - 0.9.15.1-1.fc3.x86_64 Summary of broken packages in fedora-extras-3-i386: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fluxbox-0.9.15.1-1.fc3.i386 requires pyxdg Summary of broken packages in fedora-extras-3-x86_64: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fluxbox-0.9.15.1-1.fc3.x86_64 requires pyxdg
Well maybe I should but then again: If I remember correctly I tested pyxdg on fc3 and it worked just fine so I expect that the maintainer at least sais something like: No I won't push a build because foo breaks bar thus leading to void. Or something. If I take the time to fill a bugreport and test stuff I'd rather see a response... there is really no sense in having a uptodate branch of it and not having a release. Of course it was my fault not to check the actually released stuff and only take a quick look at the cvs files but still... I'd rather see an answer. If I don't get one till fluxbox 1.0 release (which should be anytime now ;)) I will fix it.
Andreas, pyxdg was available for FE3, but contained a broken Python requirement (see separate bug report about that). Apparently, it was removed from the repo without tracking that on the FC3Status page.
So what does this mean Michael? Will there be another try for pyxdg on FC3 or not? If not I will fix the Requires...
It means nothing else than at some point back in time there was a release of pyxdg for Fedora Extras 3, so creating a dependency on it was valid. That pyxdg package was broken, however, and made it into the broken deps report around Oct/Nov 2005. An unknown time later the package got removed from the repository without tracking. FE CVS of pyxdg still has an FC-3 branch which contains an old but upgraded version which has not been built and published. Whether it still suffers from the same old breakage, I don't know.
Well not a bug anymore as pyxdg is pushed now for FE3.
