Still an issue in rawhide.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle. Changing version to 38.
I just hit this now in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2251448. According to https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic/blob/master/COMPAT.md python-magic provides a compatibility interface for file-magic users that provides the same API as the latter.
I'm seeing this in rawhide: $ sudo dnf5 upgrade ... Problem: package rpmlint-2.5.0-1.fc40.noarch requires python3.12dist(python-magic), but none of the providers can be installed - package python3-file-magic-5.45-1.fc40.noarch conflicts with python3-magic < 5.45-1.fc40 provided by python3-magic-0.4.27-5.fc40.noarch - installed package python3-file-magic-5.45-1.fc40.noarch obsoletes python3-magic < 5.45-1.fc40 provided by python3-magic-0.4.27-5.fc40.noarch - cannot install the best update candidate for package rpmlint-2.4.0-11.fc40.noarch - cannot install the best update candidate for package python3-file-magic-5.45-1.fc40.noarch
Still an issue in Fedora 38: ``` $ sudo dnf install python3-magic Dependencies resolved. =============================================================================================== Package Architecture Version Repository Size =============================================================================================== Installing: python3-file-magic noarch 5.44-3.fc38 fedora 20 k Transaction Summary =============================================================================================== Install 1 Package ```
I went ahead and opened https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/file/pull-request/31 to drop the obsoletes from python3-file-magic.
