Description John Dodson 2015-12-31 21:31:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/urllib3/packages/six.pyo: broken symbolic link to `../../six.pyo'
supplied by: python3-urllib3-1.13.1-1.fc22.noarch

/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/urllib3/packages/six.pyc: broken symbolic link to `../../six.pyc'
supplied by: python3-urllib3-1.13.1-1.fc22.noarch



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-urllib3-1.13.1-1.fc22.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time the package updates

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Every time the package updates (even if you remove it)
2.
3.

Actual results:
They are broken symlinks.

Expected results:

There should be no broken symlinks - the package creating a symlink must also supply the target file - if it can't it should leave creation of the symlink to the package that does supply the target file.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2016-01-23 19:51:41 UTC 
Moving to the right package.
Comment 2 John Dodson 2016-03-14 23:02:19 UTC 
Any progress on this?
The same problem exists in FC23...

Comment 3 Ralph Bean 2016-03-15 15:42:42 UTC 
Sorry, this was not on my radar.  Will try to get a fix out asap.
Comment 4 Ralph Bean 2016-03-16 21:18:50 UTC 
I'm not sure how to deal with this one.  I tried moving the symlinks to what I thought was the correct location, but the python3 byte compilation step seems to not like what I was doing.

I'm attaching my patch and error logs in case anyone has an idea about what to do here.

Comment 7 Kevin Fenzi 2016-03-25 21:19:06 UTC 
So, looking at this... python3-six only provides the 'six.py' file, not the .pyc/.pyo versions (which I think is right for python3). 

So, what we want to do here is not link to those non existent files.

If that looks ok to you, I can push it or you can. ;)
Comment 8 John Dodson 2016-03-25 22:25:45 UTC 
Yes. Looks ok to me!
Thanks for your efforts in fixing this.
Will the package maintainers for the package that does need
those symlinks be "warned" to do the right thing & create/remove them when appropriate?

I guess we can post a bug when they don't ;-)
Comment 9 Ralph Bean 2016-03-28 13:47:31 UTC 
Let's try it out.  One tricky part to this is that while python3-six doesn't provide the .pyc/.pyo files that we're used to, it does provide some new ones under a __pycache__ directory.  See 'rpm -qal python3-six' output:

  /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/__pycache__/six.cpython-34.pyc
  /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/__pycache__/six.cpython-34.pyo
Comment 10 Ralph Bean 2016-03-28 14:15:03 UTC 
Yeah, confirmed.  Applying the patch above ends up re-using the bundled __pycache__ files for six.py.. and if I remove them then it doesn't work at all.  Still looking for another solution here.
Comment 11 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-04-04 20:36:43 UTC 
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Comment 12 John Dodson 2016-06-01 05:37:17 UTC
