Description Miro Hrončok 2019-07-22 13:02:56 UTC
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 init
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 install hgview-curses
Problem: conflicting requests
 - nothing provides python2-urwid needed by hgview-curses-1.10.2-1.fc29.noarch


If possible please switch to Python 3. If not possible, the package will probably need to be removed from Fedora.

Thanks.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-07-29 09:23:12 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).

(If you know for sure this package shall be removed, consider doing it.)

Thank You!

Problem: conflicting requests

Comment 4 Mads Kiilerich 2019-08-06 10:12:04 UTC
Migration to Python3 depends on the Mercurial maintainer switching over ...

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-06 10:21:45 UTC
That is indeed true but this package still doesn't install. In case Mercurial is not switched before the beta freeze, hgview should be retired.

Comment 6 Mads Kiilerich 2019-08-07 00:27:56 UTC
python2-qscintilla came back with

* Mon Aug 05 2019 Rex Dieter <rdieter> - 2.11.2-4
- re-enable python2, python-qt5 FTBFS fixed (#1737206)

A new build with hgview-1.10.5-4.fc31 is coming in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-8b1b50e401 and the Qt interface works fine.


Now, only the curses subpackage depends on python2-urwid . I guess I will disable that subpackage ...

Comment 7 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-13 14:59:03 UTC
Mads, lets remove it?

Comment 8 Ben Cotton 2019-08-13 16:57:55 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to '31'.

Comment 10 Mads Kiilerich 2019-08-13 19:25:04 UTC
The issue will be fixed when a Python 3 Mercurial is available and hgview can move to python3-urwid.

It is unfortunate for us that libraries are dropping Python2 support and breaking other packages before our dependency is ready.

Comment 11 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-21 15:47:02 UTC
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 12 Mads Kiilerich 2019-08-29 10:30:54 UTC
I don't hope there is any reason to assume that the blocker bug won't be resolved before freeze.

The issue will be resolved when Python 3 Mercurial is packaged.

Comment 13 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-04 19:40:28 UTC
The final freeze is at 2019-10-08. The blocker bug wasn't resolved yet. hgview-curses still fail to install in Fedora 31:
