Description Mamoru TASAKA 2019-09-18 02:32:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
Firstly I filed against python-qtconsole as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1753060 as this affects Astronomy-KDE spin compose, however as it turns out sip-4.19.18-7.fc32 change affects more packages, I also file against sip.

sip-4.19.18-7.fc32 dropped python3-sip, which makes 7 packages uninstallable on rawhide:

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2019-09-18 03:00:04 UTC 
Looks like a bunch of packages had incorrect deps.  Good thing, so they can bq.je fixed
Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2019-09-18 13:50:21 UTC 
So, 2 concrete problems in general:

1.  Packages should not depend on python*-sip (or namespaced variants like python3-pyqt5-sip) directly.  Applications that generate bindings with sip should include a snippet similar to:

%{?_sip_api:Requires: python3-pyqt5-sip-api(%{_sip_api_major}) >= %{_sip_api}}

2.  Applications should not depend on non-namespaced python3-sip, but use python3-pyqt5-sip (or other variants as appropriate).


I'll try to review all the offenders, looks like most of them can move to use PyQt5.sip instead.
Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2019-09-18 20:46:56 UTC 
All affected packages now are either fixed or have bugs filed awaiting upstream feedback on how best to proceed
Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2019-09-23 13:53:24 UTC 
Also note that nothing obsoletes python3-sip.
Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2019-10-02 14:56:30 UTC 
Obsoletes were added in latest rawhide builds,

Comment 6 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2019-10-26 16:04:54 UTC 
I think it's reasonable to obsolete the package from f-o-p too. Added to latest build.
Comment 7 Martin Tarenskeen 2019-11-03 22:10:36 UTC 
Will these fixes be available in fc31 also?
Comment 8 Rex Dieter 2019-11-04 00:31:03 UTC 
You should direct that question to the maintainer(s) of the components in question.  This bug has several linked already to track them,

enki : bug #1752766
frescobaldi : bug #1753266
krop : bug #1707034
python-pyface : bug #1753414
python-qtconsole : bug #1753060


Which one(s) were you inquiring about?  or something else?

I will comment there. Thanks.

I've got a not-installable bug report (bug #1904473) for the veusz package. Veusz uses sip to build some PyQt code. The problem is that in rawhide veusz requires python3.9dist(sip), which is not provided by anything.

To fix the bug I tried changing the sip api snippet to what was suggested above:

-%{?_python3_sip_api:Requires: sip-api(%{_python3_sip_api_major}) >= %{_python3_sip_api}}
+%{?_sip_api:Requires: python3-pyqt5-sip-api(%{_sip_api_major}) >= %{_sip_api}}

Building in mock for rawhide, this still adds a requirement on python3.9dist(sip). I don't have any explicit sip requirements, except for the build.

Is this related to this bug, or is this something else? Any suggestions for fixing this would be great.

No, it is related to bz1825507. Let's followup in bz1904473.
