Description of problem: As with many other python modules, there are two pyfits rpms available, "pyfits" and "python3-pyfits". Unfortunately, installing 'pyfits' requires python3 to be also installed which IMHO is not proper. Python modules packages not starting with python3- in their names, should be intented for the default python 2.7 coming with F16 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.1-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install pyfits Actual results: Installing: pyfits x86_64 3.0.1-1.fc16 updates 440 k Installing for dependencies: python3 x86_64 3.2.1-1.fc16 fedora 33 k python3-libs x86_64 3.2.1-1.fc16 fedora 5.3 M python3-numpy x86_64 1:1.6.1-2.fc16 updates 2.9 M Expected results: No dependencies on python3 Additional info:
The dependency comes from the fitscheck program. A fix will arrive soon
