  • Describe the issue

Builds that buildrequire python2-dnf fail with the following error:
nothing provides python2-libcomps >= 0.1.8 needed by python2-dnf-4.0.9.2-1.el7_6.noarch

Here is an example:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=33957959

This might be due to it being retired in EPEL7 since it's now provided in RHEL:

I cannot install python2-dnf.

@kevin I verified that RHEL has libcomps-0.1.8-12.el7. Do you think its one of those mergerepo_c issue that you fixed recently?

It needed to be unblocked in epel7-build.

I did that, regenerated the repo and now it fails for a different reason. :smile:

This is because libdnf is in epel7. It looks like it was never imported or built, but there was a package defined.

So, I retired it there and as soon as it's blocked and the repo regenned that should be fixed.

I now get a different error of:

nothing provides librepo.so.0()(64bit) needed by python2-libdnf-0.22.5-1.el7_6.x86_64

You can see root.log for context:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/147/34060147/root.log

librepo was blocked in epel7, needed to be unblocked in epel7-build (since we want to get it from rhel now).

I did so and regenned the repo. Try again now?

@kevin that fixed it. Thank you!
