This filure is probably triggered by uprading python3 from 3.13.3-3.fc43 to 3.14.0~b2-3.fc43. The help argument for parser.add_argument() is a formatting string <https://docs.python.org/3.14/library/argparse.html#help> and %files seems to be undefined. Probably it should be a literal and % needs to be percent-escaped.
Is this the same fix we added here? https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml/c/5b0d3a3f5da9b30d345541737d8f4f626e1b11cb?branch=rawhide (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml/pull-request/5) We didn't do a build of OCaml yet though.
Yes, it is. Thanks for the pointer. I admit I forgot check ocaml dist-git.
