Description of problem: The Python standard library distutils module will be removed from Python 3.12+ https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/ As preparatory work, we build all python packages ina Copr repository with Python 3.11 sans distutils. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python-without-distutils/ appliance-tools fails to build: + /usr/bin/make install DESTDIR=/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/appliance-tools-011.1-9.fc38.x86_64 'INSTALL=/usr/bin/install -p' PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' ... RPM build errors: Directory not found: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/appliance-tools-011.1-9.fc38.x86_64/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/appcreate Directory not found: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/appliance-tools-011.1-9.fc38.x86_64/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ec2convert Version-Release number of selected component: 011.1-9 How reproducible: Build appliance-tools without distutils Steps to Reproduce: 1. fedpkg clone appliance-tools && cd appliance-tools 2. mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 init 3. mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 install python3-devel 4. sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/root/usr/lib64/python3.11/distutils/ 4. fedpkg mockbuild -N Actual results: fails to build Expected results: builds fine
Adding BuildRequires: python3-setuptools workarounds the problem.
Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.12: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/python3.12/ Please use this copr for testing rather than https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python-without-distutils/ If your package is listed in [0], you may workaround this issue by BuildRequiring python-setuptools, note that adding such BuildRequires might however hide some transitive dependency problem, if the distutils import comes from a dependency. Cooperation with upstream is recommended. Additional context [1].

Python 3.12 is planned to be included in Fedora 39. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.12. 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.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle. Changing version to 38.

(The same script that posted this comment will eventually close this bugzilla when the fixed package reaches the repository, so you don't have to worry about it.) or - Move this bug to ASSIGNED if you plan on fixing this, but simply haven't done so yet. or - Orphan the package if you no longer plan to maintain it. If you do not take one of these actions, the process at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/#_package_removal_for_long_standing_ftbfs_and_fti_bugs will continue. This package may be orphaned in 7+ weeks. This is the first reminder (step 3) from the policy. Don't hesitate to ask for help on devel.org if you are unsure how to fix this bug.

Working on it.
Fixed and built in F39 and Rawhide: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/appliance-tools/c/9ba48706df841d22fcdacbf808b5864997a104e9?branch=rawhide
