I fail to see what this bug has got to do with mingw32-gcc.

Comment 2 Dennis Payne 2009-06-24 13:03:13 UTC
python-magic is a dependency of mingw32-gcc-c++ (or one of it's dependency).  There isn't a component selection of python-magic.  I figured since I encountered the problem trying to install mingw32-gcc-g++ I'd file the bug under that component.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-06-24 14:06:42 UTC
I've no idea what 'python-magic' is but it doesn't have
anything to do with mingw32-gcc.  Reassigning to Python.

Comment 4 James Antill 2009-06-24 15:20:01 UTC
Thanks richard, obviously everything with python in the name is all in one giant package ... rpm -qi python-magic, who needs/uses that.

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-06-24 15:26:42 UTC
To be fair here, I did look for a BZ component called
python-magic ...

Comment 6 Daniel Novotny 2009-06-24 15:35:15 UTC
hello,
the dependency for python-magic is right;
from file.spec:

%package -n python-magic
Summary: Python bindings for the libmagic API
Group:   Development/Libraries
BuildRequires: python-devel
Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

so it requires the same version and release of "file", which is its parent
package.

I tried to install python-magic now and it correctly downloaded and installed
python-magic-5.03-2

maybe there was some glitch in the repositories, which made file-5.03-2
available but python-magic-5.03-2 not, although they were built at the same
time

please try "yum clean all" and then "yum install"...

Comment 7 Dennis Payne 2009-06-25 02:10:57 UTC
"yum clean all" and then "yum install" fixed it.  Thanks.
