Description W. Michael Petullo 2016-05-18 22:19:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
I found that linkchecker no longer works after upgrading from Fedora 23 to 24.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
linkchecker-9.3-4.fc24.x86_64
python-2.7.11-4.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to Fedora 24
2. Run linkchecker

Actual results:
$ linkchecker 
This program requires Python requests 2.2.0 or later.
$ rpm -q python
python-2.7.11-4.fc24.x86_64
Comment 1 W. Michael Petullo 2016-05-20 15:06:20 UTC 
I found this in linkchecker's __init__.py:

import requests
if requests.__version__ <= '2.2.0':
    raise SystemExit("This program requires Python requests 2.2.0 or later.")

This lexicographical order check malfunctions on Fedora 24 because of the use of requests 2.10.0.

Another user reported this upstream:

Comment 2 Charalampos Stratakis 2016-07-19 12:34:47 UTC 
Upstream commit where this is fixed:

https://github.com/wummel/linkchecker/commit/c2ce810c3fb00b895a841a7be6b2e78c64e7b042

However a newer version including this fix is not yet released. Maintainer could you backport the patch or use a git snapshot?

This currently breaks builds of python-docs with the same error message.

Created attachment 1181632 [details]
python-requests version error fix

Here is a patch for the package sources that fixes the issue.

It would be great if you could fix it in rawhide as well as F24.

Thank you for your time.
