Description Robert Scheck 2021-03-21 00:34:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
What's the situation with the dependency on python-importlib-metadata >= 1 at EPEL 8? Is it really required? As of writing, it needs python-importlib-metadata >= 1 (older versions of python-keyring don't), while all branches are shipping a python-importlib-metadata 0.x version...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-keyring-21.5.0-1.el8

Comment 1 Christopher Tubbs 2021-03-22 03:39:48 UTC 
It looks like it was dropped in F32 in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-keyring/c/12cd719fb2074682cee5df00b736d7b5d9ad2897 and then dropped for RHEL9 and ELN in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-keyring/c/925e92808ff725314308c7de211721259e44f0ae

`rpm -q --requires` on the epel8 package includes:

python3-importlib-metadata
python3.6dist(importlib-metadata)

If there's a `>= 1` requirement, I don't think it's coming from this package, though. I don't see that in this output or in the spec file.

I do not use EPEL8 and only built the package for that branch because it was requested, so I do not know what is required there. If somebody knows more about the situation with EPEL8, I'd be happy to take suggestions or pull requests, but I'm not really interested in doing much work for that branch, since I don't use it.
