Description Tomas Orsava 2016-06-16 13:07:58 UTC 
The cryptlib-test RPM requires both Python 2 and Python 3.

Except in very special circumstances, there is no need for one package
to drag in both Python stacks. Usually, this is a packaging error: for
example, a stray "/usr/bin/python" shebang in a Python 3 package can
introduce a Python 2 dependency.

Please split your package, or remove the stray dependencies.
There is a section on shebangs in the Python RPM Porting Guide [0]
which covers this issue.

It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 24 as well.


If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance, you can
ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here. We'll be happy
to help investigating or fixing this issue!

Comment 3 Ralf Senderek 2016-06-16 17:18:44 UTC 
At the moment the python 3 sub package cannot be built. I made the mistake to not exclude the python3 test script from the test tarball, so the test sub package inherited an unnecessary requires for python3.

The test package now contains only the python2 test script. Once the python3 sub package can be built, both test scripts will be split in a future version of cryptlib.

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for providing a Python 3 package for cryptlib.

However, cryptlib-test RPM still requires both Python 2 and Python 3. Is it intended or can it be split?

The idea is to put *all* test programs for any language into one package, 
which has the sole purpose to provide as much testing material as possible
for cryptlib.

However, if it is really necessary to separate python3 from python2 scripts, 
then I'd rather like to put one of the test scripts for python into the package
that provide the library and to remove python2 or python3 from the test
package.

Thanks for the confirmation!

The combined package is only tripping our sanity checks. We can whitelist cryptlib.

Whitelisting cryptlib is my preferred solution as I'd like to keep all test
programms in a single package if possible.
