#7208 freeipa: binary RPMs require both Python 2 and Python 3
Closed: fixed Opened by pvoborni.

Reopen Issue

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 1489509

The freeipa-client, freeipa-server, freeipa-server-dns and
freeipa-server-trust-ad RPMs require both Python 2 and Python 3.
Except in very special circumstances, there is no need for one package
to drag in both Python stacks. Usually, this is a packaging error: in this case
the packages have Python 2 dependencies and '/usr/bin/python3' shebangs which
introduce the dependency on Python 3. There is a section on
shebangs in the Python RPM Porting Guide [0].
As freeipa upstream supports Python 3 starting the latest release 4.6.0 [1],
please switch the packages to Python 3. If there is anything blocking this,
then please let us know.
It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 26 as well.
If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance, you can
ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here. We'll be happy
to help investigating or fixing this issue!
