Bug ID: 1452074 Summary: git-annex not installable, obsoleted by ghc-obsoletes Product: Fedora Version: 26 Component: git-annex Assignee: mathstuf@gmail.com Reporter: till.hofmann@posteo.de QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, mathstuf@gmail.com
Description of problem: Installing git-annex does not install git-annex, but instead installs ghc-obsoletes. Apparently, ghc-obsoletes obsoletes git-annex (or one of its dependencies?)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): git-annex-0:5.20140717-13.fc26 ghc-obsoletes-0:1.6.19-1.fc26
How reproducible: always on my system
Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a system without git-annex: dnf --refresh install git-annex
Actual results: The only package to be installed is ghc-obsoletes.
Expected results: git-annex is to be installed.

--- Comment #2 from Miroslav Suchý msuchy@redhat.com --- Please fix this, otherwise this will break build systems (Copr).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1452074
--- Comment #3 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- It is intentional since git-annex no longer builds currently in F26+, due to too many missing deps.
The fix is basically to retire git-annex, I am afraid.
Or can you explain more? You need git-annex? I assume you are unhappy about the lack of repo closure??
Is there is better way of handling this?

--- Comment #4 from Miroslav Suchý msuchy@redhat.com --- [11:10] <juhp> msuchy: how do you want to fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1452074 ? [11:50] <msuchy> juhp: well the correct way is to fix git-annex. [11:50] <msuchy> if you or mathstuf does not have time for that, then you should announce intent to orphan that package on devel mailing list [11:50] <msuchy> and hopefully someone else will do that [11:52] <msuchy> juhp: and only if no one will take it, you should obsolete it. And it should be obsoleted by fedora-obsolete package btw [11:53] <msuchy> juhp: and this version has been built sucessfully: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=843493 [11:53] <msuchy> juhp: and you obsoleted this version as well
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1452074
--- Comment #5 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- You didn't answer my question: how does it break build systems?
I should have explained my carefully: the old version of git-annex can't build any more with the new version of ghc we put in F26. (See the broken deps in the rawhide/f26 repo report.) To build a new version a lot of new dependencies need to be added to Fedora and currently noone is stepping up to do that.
Okay I am aware there is an official obsoletes package (I can't the correct name right now). I will try to move ghc-obsoletes there later...

Okay I am aware there is an official obsoletes package (I can't the correct name right now). I will try to move ghc-obsoletes there later...
As Miroslav explained above, the package shouldn't be obsoleted at all (yet). Instead, it should only be orphaned and other packagers should be given the opportunity to pick up the package and do the necessary work. Only if nobody volunteers to pick up the package, then it should be retired, and possibly obsoleted.

--- Comment #7 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Okay, I asked mathstuf to orphan or retire the package.
How are people hitting this?
Note that the current package in F26 cannot install, due to broken deps.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1452074
--- Comment #8 from Miroslav Suchý msuchy@redhat.com ---
how does it break build systems?
Copr is using git-annex. It is using F25. So this will block upgrades of Copr machines to F26. We will either have to drop the feature, which use git-annex or package or those deps.

--- Comment #11 from Miroslav Suchý msuchy@redhat.com --- So git-annex is available in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/petersen/git-annex/ Can you please remove the obsolete now? Otherwise we cannot install that package.

--- Comment #12 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Thanks Miroslav - I had forgotten to post the copr link here too. Okay, I can do that.
(BTW you can install it if you give dnf the version.)
I still feel the dnf behaviour is wrong though (see bug 1460424).

--- Comment #24 from Fedora End Of Life jkurik@fedoraproject.org --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

--- Comment #25 from Fedora End Of Life jkurik@fedoraproject.org --- Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
