Regression in pyproject blocking package upgrade... due to dependency fail.

[pvi-github]

Rebuilding rpms from main after #12 leads to a dependency fail :

# urpm i rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/urpm-ng-0.3.0-1.mga10.x86_64.rpm pk-backend-urpm-0.3.0-1.mga10.x86_64.rpm 
Local RPM files (2):
  urpm-ng-0.3.0-1.mga10.x86_64
  pk-backend-urpm-0.3.0-1.mga10.x86_64
Resolution failed:
  nothing provides python3.13dist(solv) needed by urpm-ng-0.3.0-1.mga10.x86_64

https://github.com/pvi-github/urpm-ng/pull/12/changes#r2831811461

Removing solv makes the problem disappear. Solv might not be the correct value or maybe the python3-libsolv package does not declare provides totally as supposed:

$ urpm provides python3-solv-0.7.35-1.mga10
Package python3-solv-0.7.35-1.mga10.x86_64 provides (4):

  python-solv[== 0.7.35-1.mga10]
  python3-solv(x86-64)[== 0.7.35-1.mga10]
  python3-solv[== 0.7.35-1.mga10]
  python3.13-solv[== 0.7.35-1.mga10]

=> no python3.13dist(solv)

I didn't try the makefile with this change, but installing everything with pip worked great. That also means pip installed the dependencies from pypi, not rpms, so it could be that the rpm doesn't provide the right things. Actually, that does seem to be the case. With the python3-solv and python3-zstandard packages installed, pip shows that only zstandard is available: $ pip list |grep -wE 'solv|zstandard' zstandard 0.21.0 And, looking at the packaged files, python3-solv contains no egg-info files where as python3-zstandard does. So, it does look like a packaging issue.

I don't recommend to use pip precisely for this reason : the result is supposed to be an installable rpm deployed on mageia.

So the good way to test is :

• make rpm
• install the produced rpms (if needed with urpm i --resinstall xxxx.rpm yyyy.rpm when the version does not change)
• test with new installed version

And I agree with you : this failure allowed us to spot a packaging issue in python3-solv specfile.

This should be solved by applying a patch which generates metadata in the libsolv python module.

An update is still on the way for Mageia 9.
