Description Mamoru TASAKA 2009-01-19 18:41:33 UTC
Description of problem:

Today I learned that rpmlint has "-a" option and also
was told that currently this option crashes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpmlint-0.85-3.fc11.noarch
rpm-4.6.0-0.rc3.2.fc11.i386
python-2.6-4.fc11.i386

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ rpmlint -a
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
[root@localhost ~]# rpmlint -a
/usr/share/rpmlint/Pkg.py:16: DeprecationWarning: The popen2 module is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  import popen2
0 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/rpmlint/rpmlint.py", line 295, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/rpmlint/rpmlint.py", line 139, in main
    for item in ts.IDTXload():
AttributeError: 'rpm.ts' object has no attribute 'IDTXload'

Expected results:
Output some useful information

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2009-01-19 20:29:34 UTC
Looks like ts.IDTXload() has disappeared from rpm-python 4.6.0 (I'm still on F-9 and it is present and works there).  I can't find anything about its removal in rpm's change logs or git commit messages - Panu, could you shed some light on this?

Will take a look at muting the popen2 deprecation warning (can't be just bluntly changed to use subprocess because rpmlint should work with python 2.3 and subprocess is not available in it).

Use ts.dbMatch() for iterating over rpmdb contents

ts.IDTXload() was indeed removed in rpm 4.6.0 among the other rollback related functionality. Yes, rollback related - using ts.IDTXload() to iterate over rpmdb contents is, hmm, creative :)

Attached patch makes it use ts.dbMatch() which will work on any rpm version >= 4.1.

Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2009-01-20 17:58:08 UTC
Ooh, based on rpmlint.py logs, credit for that creativity goes to... yours truly, from 2003.  I've no idea where I got that from (and that I did it in the first place), but it's safe to say that at that time I was even more clueless with python and rpm bindings than these days ;)

Applied upstream, will be in the next rpmlint package revision.  Thanks!
