What do you mean by 'renamed', exactly? It's not | as if you can just have python3-net-snmp provide and obsolete python2- | net-snmp ; any dependency which actually needs the python2 one is not | going to keep working with this change. | | Do you just mean the python2-net-snmp package will go away and anything | using it has to migrate to python3-net-snmp?

Yes, python2-net-snmp will no longer be delivered and anyone, that want to use it as dependency, have to use Python3. Right now, I didn't find any package (based on dnf repoquery), that require python2-net-snmp package, so this change should be harmless. | | I see, for instance, '389-ds-base-owner' CCed on this mail; if 389-ds- | base depends on python2-net-snmp it is not at all going to be | acceptable to just throw it away without regards to whether 389-ds-base | can reasonably migrate to python3 right now. That is a core component | of one of our release-blocking deliverables, Fedora Server. This package depends on net-snmp-devel, not python2-net-snmp. Anyway 389-ds-base package already use Python3, so even this change shouldn't cause any inconveniences. Josef
