Description Sławomir Nizio 2014-11-08 15:59:06 UTC

Pretty please: python-magic depends on sys-apps/file[-python] and it's nasty.

Also, python-bugzilla seems to work with sys-apps/file[python] and dev-python/python-magic not installed. I didn't test python-bugzilla (and esp. the code path using the 'magic' module), but I pasted parts of the code in the Python 3.4 REPL (code ending with mimemagic.file('/bin/ls')) and it worked.

Please change the dependency to sys-apps/file[python]. Or, if ineed it works with dev-python/python-magic too, please make a this-or-this dependency.

Reproducible: Always

I got the same issue with my life ebuilds of Fedora packaging tools in the ixit[1] overlay, python-bugzilla live ebuild is among those as well. I'll use the suggested dependency syntax for my ebuilds.
