Priority: medium
Bug ID: 62066
Keywords: regression
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: CONFIGURATION: python vs python2
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.1.2 release
Component: Installation
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
I do not have python>=3.3 installed on my instance, but do have python2>=2.7.
I've created a symbolic link from /usr//usr/bin/python to point to
/usr/bin/python2 for certain installed programs that require "python" in
general, but not specifically python>=3.3 as I have no need for python>=3.3,
but do need at least python2. When trying to upgrade libreoffice to the latest
version from version 3.6.5-1 to 4.0.1-1, specifically on libreoffice-common,
pacman fails to complete the install because of the existing symbolic link:
"error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python: /usr/bin/python exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded."
Version 3.6.5-1 did not require python>=3.3, are we sure that version 4.0.1-1
can't be run with python2? I don't see anything in the release notes
(http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/) or the system requirements
(http://www.libreoffice.org/download/system-requirements/) noting a change to
or requirement for python>=3.3.
Additionally, I tried to build the libreoffice package myself, updating the
python requirement to python2>=2.7 in the PKGINFO file. When running "makepkg
-s" I ran into an issue when it got to the "./configure" part of the build.
Seems it is still looking for python>=3.3, however the "./configure" file
appears to have some checks for other versions of python in it, I'm just not
well versed enough to understand what exactly it is looking for.
I've also tried to build with the option "--enable-python=internal", with a
difference failure, shown here: http://pastebin.ca/2330306
Suffice to say, for the time being I have added libreoffice, and the rest of
the libreoffice group packages to my ignore list until such time I can find
resolution to the python version issue.
