Bug 815817 – sys-fs/zfs-2.1.1-r2 fails at configuration with Python 3.10 as comparison >=3.4.0 fails

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mattia Rossi 2021-10-02 08:52:39 UTC]

zfs fails to build with Python 3.10 enabled as the comparison with Python >= 3.4.0 fails in the configuration step.

It works with Python 3.9.x

Workaround for those who have PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_10":

PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_9" emerge sys-fs/zfs

switching order of python via "eselect python set" does not fix the issue.

[Comment 1 Sam James 2021-10-02 15:36:46 UTC]

Please do include the full build.log (and presumably config.log) too with emerge --info.

we need this:

[Comment 3 Georgy Yakovlev 2021-10-05 18:51:44 UTC]

we already have new python deps in 9999, so it may need a backport

[Comment 4 Georgy Yakovlev 2021-10-06 22:30:39 UTC]

actually it's https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12045 and mentioned patch may not fix the issue.

we really need to know autoconf version your system uses, so please upload build log and emerge --info

emerge info

Created attachment 759259 [details]
emerge log

[Comment 7 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2021-12-15 22:57:26 UTC]

I am getting the same error.  It looks like autoconf is doing a text comparison instead of a numeric one on the seperate components.

[Comment 8 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2021-12-15 23:06:48 UTC]

I can confirm that the command line PYTHON_TARGETS override works for me as well.
