Description Tomáš Hrnčiar 2020-11-02 10:08:03 UTC 
libreport fails to build with Python 3.10.0a1.

checking for python3 version... 3.1
checking for python3 platform... linux
checking for python3 script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python3.10/site-packages
checking for python3 extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib64/python3.10/site-packages
checking for python3.1-config... no
The python3.1-config program was not found in the search path. Please ensure
that it is installed and its directory is included in the search path or
pass --without-python3 to ./configure.
Then run configure again before attempting to build libreport.

This seems like a problem with detecting the correct version of Python (3.10 instead of 3.1).

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.10/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01728341-libreport/

For all our attempts to build libreport with Python 3.10, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/package/libreport/

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.10:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.10 will be included in Fedora 35. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.10.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.
We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2020-11-02 10:43:16 UTC 
libreport-2.14.0/aclocal.m4
1322:    [am_cv_python_version=`$PYTHON -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[[:3]])"`])

libreport-2.14.0/configure
16385:  am_cv_python_version=`$PYTHON -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[:3])"`



$ python3.10 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.version[:3])"
3.1


Please use (something like) this instead:

$ python3.10 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write('{}.{}'.format(*sys.version_info[:2]))"
3.10
Comment 2 Matej Grabovsky 2020-11-02 11:14:19 UTC 
So this is a bug in automake, right? (aclocal.m4 is generated by /usr/bin/aclocal, which is owned by automake.)
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2020-11-02 11:39:22 UTC 
I guess this needs to be fixed in automake (see bz1889732) and then the tarball needs to be regenerated in case automake is not run during the build but instead, the package is build from pre-populated aclocal.m4, right?
Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2020-11-05 14:55:45 UTC 
Running autoreconf in %build instead of autoconf seem to get past the problematic point.
Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2020-11-05 14:59:12 UTC 
It builds entirely: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libreport/pull-request/5
