Description stephen.a.clark 2014-09-22 08:13:35 UTC

Description of problem:

Trying to import cmdgen from pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.oneliner fails because the version of pyasn1 shipped with RHEL6 is too old. The code that it requires, pyasn1.compat.octets, was introduced in version 0.1.1 of pyasn1.

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

pysnmp-4.2.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm
python-pyasn1-0.0.12a-1.el6.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start python in RHEL6 with pysnmp installed
2. from pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.oneliner import cmdgen

Actual results:

  File "/p4/vxtest/framework/vxtf/netmodel/machine_apps/snmp.py", line 12, in <module>
    from pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.oneliner import cmdgen
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pysnmp/entity/rfc3413/oneliner/cmdgen.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pysnmp.entity import engine, config
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pysnmp/entity/engine.py", line 2, in <module>
    from pysnmp.proto.rfc3412 import MsgAndPduDispatcher
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pysnmp/proto/rfc3412.py", line 3, in <module>
    from pyasn1.compat.octets import null
ImportError: No module named compat.octets

Expected results:

I can still reproduce this problem, shown here using the same one-liner as previously in this bug. (My real use case is a Munin plugin that imports the same module.)

Comment 14 a.beaugy 2016-11-04 07:08:24 UTC

Dear all,

Same here, we are also stuck with the same error on CentOS 6.5.

In order to illustrate I will reuse "Tomas M" Python CLI sample. Nevertheless, the same error (ImportError: No module named compat.octets) appears in our project.

  $ cat /etc/centos-release
  CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
  $ rpm -q python-pyasn1
  python-pyasn1-0.0.12a-1.el6.noarch
  $ rpm -q pysnmp
  pysnmp-4.2.5-2.el6.noarch
  $ python -c "from pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.oneliner import cmdgen"
  Traceback (most recent call last):

Comment 23 Ben Cotton 2020-11-05 16:52:32 UTC

This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Comment 25 Ben Cotton 2020-11-30 15:03:32 UTC

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
