Hello everyone,
I'm sending this on behalf of the packagers of the Pulp project.
The Pulp project uses createrepo_c and in particular the Python bindings. The appstream repository does contain python3-createrepo_c but Pulp needs Python 3.8 so it uses the 3.8 module. There is no python38-createrepo_c so for now we're building it ourselves. The problem shows up when createrepo_c is bumped in CentOS Stream. From repoclosure:
Depsolve Error occured: Problem: package python38-createrepo_c-0.17.7-3.2.el8.x86_64 requires createrepo_c-libs = 0.17.7-3.2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both createrepo_c-libs-0.17.7-4.el8.x86_64 and createrepo_c-libs-0.17.7-3.2.el8.x86_64 - cannot install both createrepo_c-libs-0.17.7-3.2.el8.x86_64 and createrepo_c-libs-0.17.7-4.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package python38-createrepo_c-0.17.7-3.2.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package createrepo_c-libs-0.17.7-3.2.el8.x86_64
It would be ideal if CentOS itself built python38-createrepo_c (and possibly also for other Python modules). Is this something that could be done?
