Description Miro Hrončok 2022-01-29 12:18:19 UTC 
The package python3-javabridge has the following automatic provide:

  python3dist(javabridge) = 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 Raphael Groner 2022-01-30 18:29:55 UTC 
I fail to see any relation to source tarball as there's definitely a version given as well in %prep to extract. 
To build, standard with macro %py3_build is used. Why setuptools_scm then as there's no BuildRequires for that?
Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2022-01-30 21:14:05 UTC 
setup.py has a complicated get_version() used. it tries to load info from git (and fails), then it tries javabridge/_version.py and fails as well, it returns None which is turned into 0.

Thanks for debugging. We should file that to upstream and ask for a good official version.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.
Comment 5 Raphael Groner 2022-03-08 21:37:50 UTC 
Well, first guess would be PEP 440 but there's no _version.py available to read from.
Comment 6 Karolina Surma 2022-11-11 15:30:49 UTC 
This is a dead package.
