I'm running into just this sort of issue this with python2 modules and Samba libraries, such as libldb, libtevent, libtalloc, and libtdb for Samba 4.11rc1 The necessary modern visions of all of those libraries are no longer copatible with python2. Compiling them for Fedora 30 and RHEL 7 means that the old python2 modules are still present for dependencies in mock, and hilarity ensues, *unless* the python3 modules are configured to "Obsolete" the python2 modules. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
