classification-banner fails to build with Python 3.11.0a3. ====================================================================== ERROR: banner (unittest.loader._FailedTest) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError: Failed to import test module: banner Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.11/unittest/loader.py", line 132, in loadTestsFromName module = __import__(module_name) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/builddir/build/BUILD/classification-banner-1.7.0/classification_banner/banner.py", line 9, in <module> from configparser import SafeConfigParser ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ImportError: cannot import name 'SafeConfigParser' from 'configparser' (/usr/lib64/python3.11/configparser.py) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 1 test in 0.000s FAILED (errors=1) Removed from the configparser module: the SafeConfigParser class, the filename property of the ParsingError class, the readfp() method of the ConfigParser class, deprecated since Python 3.2.

You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.11: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.11/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.11 is planned to be included in Fedora 37. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.11. A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon. We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
classification-banner is unmaintained upstream and should be replaced by a GNOME Shell extension as tracked in Bug 2031186. Therefore, I think classification-banner should be removed from Fedora, as this build failure is unlikely to be fixed.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle. Changing version to 36.
Changes in configparser module were reverted in Python 3.11 and will be part of Python 3.12, thus I am closing this bugzilla. However, I highly encourage you to work with the upstream to fix it so we won't have to deal with it next year.
