Red Hat Bugzilla 1631306 0 unspecified CLOSED weasyprint: Remove (sub)packages from Fedora 30+: python2-weasyprint 2022-05-16 11:32:56 UTC

Internal Links: 1631306

Description Andrew Engelbrecht 2016-04-28 20:10:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

After installing weasyprint, it does not run because it depends on the wrong packages.

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

0.22-2.fc23

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # dnf install weasyprint
2. $ weasyprint
3.

Actual results:

I get a traceback due to missing dependencies

Expected results:

'dnf install weasyprint' should install python3-weasyprint instead of python-weasyprint as a dependency

Additional info:

Installing python3-weasyprint manually works around the issue.
Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-25 07:30:11 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

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 Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 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.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 2 Thomas Moschny 2016-11-25 09:42:19 UTC 
Still true on F24.
Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 20:38:26 UTC

Comment 4 Felix Schwarz 2017-07-27 09:09:41 UTC 
Still a problem in rawhide ("F27").
Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2017-08-15 09:32:27 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle.
Changing version to '27'.
Comment 6 Miro Hrončok 2018-10-09 18:21:04 UTC 
Fixed this in rawhide by removing python2 subpackage entirely.
Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2018-11-27 14:06:57 UTC

Comment 8 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 23:09:29 UTC 
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 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
Fedora 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.
Comment 9 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2018-12-07 01:31:27 UTC 
The issue *still* applies in Fedora 29. This bug is about two and a half years old now. Eric Smith, if you see this and aren't interested in maintaining weasyprint anymore, I'd be happy to take over the package for you :)
Comment 10 Miro Hrončok 2018-12-07 08:36:46 UTC 
Andrew, feel free to send a PR and link it here, I'd merge it as a provenpackager.
Comment 11 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2018-12-11 03:12:55 UTC 
Miro, I didn't see your comment till after the weekend. But looks like you beat me to it. <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/weasyprint/c/80c2052aa97bca5ec5d0d868d18c1c6de0919e57?branch=master> So, seems like we should be good, once you push the update to Bodhi. Thanks!

I'd be okay with closing this ticket now, provided you (or someone) remembers to push the update :)
Comment 12 Miro Hrončok 2018-12-11 06:49:09 UTC 
Not really, this commit removes the python2 package and cannot go to an already released Fedora:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_multiple_python_runtimes

> Mirroring the policy for regular packages, the Python-version-specific subpackages of your package MUST NOT be removed in a release branch of Fedora.
Comment 13 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2018-12-12 04:42:19 UTC 
I guess if you want to be a stickler for following the packaging guidelines, then maybe for existing branched releases of Fedora, you could let the python2 subpackage continue to exist, but still add the `Requires: python3-weasyprint` tag?

I mean, weasyprint is the the only package that relies on python2-weasyprint. BUT weasyprint actually doesn't even work when using Python2... Based on the age of this ticket, weasyprint has apparently needed python3-weasyprint *since 2016*, and does not work without it. I cannot imagine anyone in the Fedora leadership would insist that you should continue to ship a *broken package* for the sake of following packaging guidelines against switching runtimes within a release.
Comment 14 Miro Hrončok 2018-12-12 06:37:59 UTC 
Yes, it should be fixed. Should not be shipped broken.

Yet the fix is not to backport that commit.

The fix is shorter than this comment, so I've decided to push it.
