Hi,
I have had issues with batti for quite a while, and I came across battray as a
replacement (and it works). So, I was trying to put it together as a rpm and perhaps and
get it approved for Fedora.
I have created the following spec file available here:
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/442597/50173214
It compiles without error. However, when I try to install the rpm using
$sudo dnf install ../RPMS/noarch/battray-2.2-1.fc24.noarch.rpm
I get:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:15:05 ago on Mon Oct 3 08:21:04 2016.
Error: nothing provides /bin/python3 needed by battray-2.2-1.fc24.noarch
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)
The addition of '--allowerasing' does not change anything other than to remove
the suggestion.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong with my spec file?
Try:
%install
%{_python3} setup.py install --prefix=%{_prefix} --root=%{buildroot}
%{_python3} expands to /usr/bin/python3; I think on your system
python3 in "python3 setup.py...." resolves to /bin/python3 which
explains the wrong requires added to the package.
Try examining your $PATH env var, maybe /bin/ is precedes /usr/bin/ on
your system?
