Description of problem: rhnpush depends on a package (spacewalk-backend) that isn't listed in it's spec. So it will fail to work if you only install it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.5.24-1.fc16 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install rhnpush 2. rhnpush Actual results: Unable to load module rhnpush No module named UserDictCase Expected results: "Success!!" Additional info: Please add spacewalk-backend dependency to the "Requires: " list.
UserDictCase is presented (by the way) in rhnlib. We should not use that one from spacewalk-backend. Correct way should be fix that import in rhnpush.py. It is already fixed in F17, and the fix is not as straightforward as it seems. I'm not definitelly going to put Requires: spacewalk-backend there, as it will install httpd, which some people do not want to do. I will check if the change of the import will fix this problem.
Thank you for looking into this. I just think it should be fixed to work (how ever that might be). If you want that to be by changing it's dependencies by changing the import calls, great!. I wrote that it depends on spacewalker-backend because, currently, the only end-user way I found to get rhnpush to work ( Even though that package had a lot of dependencies that came with it).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
It works in Fedora 17+.
