Description Dick Marinus 2012-04-01 10:46:06 UTC
Description of problem:
cracklib-python doesn't support multilib, for x86_64 files are installed in /usr/lib/python2.7 and /usr/lib64/python2.7.

This causes a conflict if someone would like to use package for both x86 and x86_64 of cracklib-python. 

cracklib-python.i686 isn't available for x86_64 and I suppose it should and could be available if for x86_64 all files are installed in /usr/lib64 and for i686 all files would be installed in /usr/lib.

Comment 1 Dick Marinus 2013-01-08 16:18:31 UTC
It seems this is caused by autoconf, which installs the python modules in /usr/lib/python/ instead of /usr/lib64/python (pythondir).

This should be okay but it's kind of weird in case of cracklib which installs a binary object in /usr/lib64/ and the native python files in /usr/lib/.

Package the library and python scripts seperately

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 16:27:56 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2013-06-10 17:34:58 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 17:05:17 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.
