Description Miro Hrončok 2022-01-29 12:13:42 UTC 
The package etckeeper-brz has the following automatic provide:

  python3dist(brz-etckeeper) = 0

The package etckeeper-dnf has the following automatic provide:

  python3dist(dnf-etckeeper) = 0

It appears that the actual package version was lost during the packaging process. 

In most cases, this is caused by using a Source that misses version information, e.g. A GitHub tarball when the project uses setuptools_scm or pbr. See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_source_files_from_pypi

This bugzilla was created in a batch, so it does not have information about the exact cause for this package. If you need help figuring out why this happens in this particular package, feel free to ask.
Comment 1 Thomas Moschny 2022-01-31 08:42:56 UTC 
Not sure what to do here. Both are more or less single-file plugins for etckeeper, and not really standalone packages.

While dnf-etckeeper at least comes with etckeeper, and thus one could simply assign it the same version number [1], brz-etckeeper only exists as a patch with no real upstream...

[1] although I'd have to figure out how to do that technically first
Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2022-01-31 09:45:39 UTC 
Technically, the version is stored in /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dnf_etckeeper-0.0.0-py3.10.egg-info

Metadata-Version: 1.0

I believe the culprit is that the package uses etckeeper-brz/__init__.py and  etckeeper-dnf/etckeeper.py as setup.py and neither has any version information.


If the metadata is not used by any part of etckeeper, I suggest simply rm'ing both egg-infos in %install with the reference to this bugzilla.

brz-etckeeper is actually a breezy plugin and dnf-etckeeper a dnf plugin. Probably both do not care about the version number. Need to check that.
