There's a TON of glade3 deps... 60 packages depend on it, including most all of the Xfce plugins and various other Xfce packages. :( It may be possible to build glade3 with python3, but I am not sure... it pulls in pygtk2 which pulls in python2, so that might be the end there. :( It _is_ possible to build it without python at all. I am not sure what that breaks. Repoquery doesn't find anything, but it might be that things are dlopening the python plugin? Lets coordinate in the python2 glade3 bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1739549 I'd propose we take it back over and push a build with no python support to rawhide and try and see what breaks, and perhaps talk to upstream about python3 support? kevin
