Description Miro Hrončok 2019-08-04 07:59:25 UTC

In line with the Mass Python 2 Package Removal [0], the following (sub)packages of libappindicator were marked for removal:

 * python2-appindicator

According to our query, those (sub)packages only provide a Python 2 importable module. If this is not true, please tell us why, so we can fix our query.

Please remove them from your package in Rawhide (Fedora 31).

Please don't do this for Fedora 30, removing packages from a released Fedora branch is forbidden.

As said in the change document, if there is no objection in a week, we will remove the package(s) as soon as we get to it. This change might not match your packaging style, so we'd prefer if you did the change. If you need more time, please let us know here.

If you do the change yourself, it would help us a lot by reducing the amount of packages we need to mass change.

We hope this doesn't come to you as a surprise. If you want to know our motivation for this, please read the change document [0].

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-04 08:08:26 UTC

Apparently, cherrytree requires python-appindicator and that used to be provided by python2-appindicator but is no more.

Let's fix cherrytree first.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-04 08:09:35 UTC

And python-enchant.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-05 15:26:09 UTC

cherrytree now fails to install:

$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 init
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 install cherrytree
Problem: conflicting requests
 - nothing provides python-appindicator needed by cherrytree-0.38.5-5.fc30.noarch

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-13 14:59:50 UTC

In preparation for the Python 2 EOL, we are removing all non-installable Python 2 packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Removing_non-installable_packages_from_the_distro

This bug is still in the NEW state and the package does not install. Please indicate you are working on a fix by setting the state to ASSIGNED. When this bug is four weeks in the NEW state, the package may be orphaned.

Note that you don't have to actually fix this right now, setting the bug to ASSIGNED will just mark this as being worked on, so I'll know it is being taken care of. If this happens too quickly, feel free to reach to me any time for help (with specific problems).

Thank You!

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to 31.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Removing_non-installable_packages_from_the_distro

"Packages still failing to install due to a missing Python 2 dependency will be retired at Beta Freeze, assuming they have a Bugzilla bug open for at least 2 weeks. The package maintainer may postpone this retirement to the Final Freeze by promising to fix it until then."

Let me know if this package shall not be retired yet. The beta freeze is at 2019-08-29, the final freeze is at 2019-10-08.

Comment 9 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-28 11:23:12 UTC

Retired the package in master and f31. Let me know if you want me review it once (if) it is added back.

Comment 10 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-30 11:57:46 UTC

Requesting a freeze exception based on https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2216#comment-593925

Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2019-08-30 16:15:04 UTC

Unproposing per https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2216#comment-594033 . Please only propose bugs where an update was actually pending before the 29th, unless there is a more urgent reason why that package specifically should get an FE.

Comment 12 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-31 07:39:40 UTC

I've verified that the package is gone from the fedora repo. Thanks and sorry for panicking.

Comment 13 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-12 02:05:30 UTC
