Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev

2015-04-21 21:09:13 UTC

dev-python/pbr-0.10.8 includes packages in requires.txt which are part of the standard library for modern python versions. For example: argparse.

This causes problems when a package is loaded using pkg_resources, or on installation of related packages (see bug 546776).

This issue was introduced here:

https://github.com/openstack-dev/pbr/commit/c2aab3b27f03887606b49711a7db9a21b72a60c1

And was made worse here:

Comment 1 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2015-04-22 11:43:00 UTC

It was just deletion of a misfeature, which was causing that incorrect data in requirements.txt etc. were being corrected by pbr itself, but it is not the job of pbr to do it. Upstreams of other packages should fix their requirements.txt etc.

$ grep argparse /usr/lib64/python*/site-packages/*.egg-info/requires.txt
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/autopep8-1.1.1-py2.6.egg-info/requires.txt:argparse
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/fanstatic-1.0a4-py2.6.egg-info/requires.txt:argparse
