RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Although the packaged python-kerberos version is 1.1, according to its egg-info it's 1.0.  This prevents module dependency resolution from working properly.

$ rpm -q python-kerberos
python-kerberos-1.1-6.2.el6.x86_64
$ rpm -ql python-kerberos | head -n 1
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/kerberos-1.0-py2.6.egg-info
$ python
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.require('kerberos >= 1.1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 648, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 550, in resolve
    raise VersionConflict(dist,req) # XXX put more info here
VersionConflict: (kerberos 1.0 (/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages), Requirement.parse('kerberos>=1.1'))

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

python-kerberos-1.1-6.2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:

$ python
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution('kerberos').version

Actual results:

'1.0'

Expected results:

'1.1'

Verified.

rpm version:
