Same here.

in webapp-config-1.55.ebuild I found

DEPEND="...
        !dev-python/configparser
        ..."

Could some one explain why?

Same goes for webapp-config-9999.ebuild ....
Insane.....

Here’s a “mee too”. Only webapp-config-1.54-r2 does not contain !configparser, which is the version I had installed until now. For (probably a sound reason) 1.54-r2 became keyworded, so another version gets selected by portage.

[Comment 4 Devan Franchini (RETIRED) 2017-06-24 01:45:03 UTC]

For an explanation as to why webapp-config blocks the configparser package, please see bug #528752, it will explain exactly why this happened. I can attempt to resolve this inside the code without the need to block it but if I recall correctly this was a choice made due to the fact that we'd have to modify the configuration files completely if we didn't block it.

[Comment 5 Devan Franchini (RETIRED) 2017-06-24 03:43:55 UTC]

In retrospect, I have made a change to the code awhile back which removes the need to have this blocker in ebuilds. I have just confirmed this myself as well, so I will be removing it from the 9999 and 1.55 ebuilds, respectively.

[Comment 6 Devan Franchini (RETIRED) 2017-06-24 04:01:43 UTC]

I've made changes to the ebuild, feel free to re-install.
