Description Japheth Cleaver 2018-10-12 23:44:11 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #819913 +++

Description of problem:

# koan --replace-self
- looking for Cobbler at http://cobbler.cora.nwra.com:80/cobbler_api
the rhpl or ethtool module is required to use this feature (is your OS>=EL3?)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
koan-2.2.2-1.fc17.noarch

--- Additional comment from James C. on 2012-05-21 22:05:56 EDT ---

This is not required because it's an either/or situation:

def get_network_info():
   try:
      import ethtool
   except:
      try:
         import rhpl.ethtool
         ethtool = rhpl.ethtool
      except:
           raise InfoException("the rhpl or ethtool module is required to use this feature (is your OS>=EL3?)")


Adding a requirement on one would exclude the other, so neither are required and the import error is handled gracefully with a suggestion to install the one available for your distro.

Please note that RHPL is long-dead. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2009-July/msg01789.html), and cobbler srpm Changelog entry:
- Replace rhpl with ethtool (heffer)


Regardless of upstream, koan in both Fedora and Fedora EPEL requires python-ethtool to function and it should be an RPM Requires enforcement. Reporting in Rawhide as it appears to be still present in cobbler-2.8.3-4.fc29.src.rpm, but was tested on FC28 at koan-2.8.3-2.fc28.noarch and EL7 at koan-2.8.3-2.el7.noarch.
