Comment 1 Gerald Cox 2026-08-01 18:05:18 UTC
Upstream consolidated the plugin code into the main beets package but kept plugin dependencies as optional extras.

The Fedora spec now generates matching beets+<plugin> dependency subpackages. For this bug:

dnf install 'beets+lyrics'

installs the required beautifulsoup4, langdetect, and requests dependencies without making them mandatory for all beets users.
