#6311 please retire the el5 branch of python-pycurl in pkgdb
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by kdudka.

As discussed with Tomas Hoger in Bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1277490#c7

... python-pycurl should not exist in EPEL-5 because the package is already included in RHEL-5. I have retired the el5 branch in dist-git but I am not allowed to retire the branch in pkgdb:

{{{
$ pkgdb-cli orphan --retire python-pycurl el5
You are not allowed to retire the package: python-pycurl on branch el5.
}}}

Any help appreciated!


How did you retire the pkg in dist git? If you did not use "fedpkg retire", can you please check if it works?

Yes, I used "fedpkg retire". This is the commit it generated (and unconditionally pushed):

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python-pycurl.git/commit/?h=el5

Not sure if it was creation of this ticket what helped but I tried the above command now and it succeeded:
{{{
$ pkgdb-cli orphan --retire python-pycurl el5
FAS password for user kdudka:
user: kdudka updated package: python-pycurl status from: Approved to Retired on branch: el5
}}}

I am closing this ticket as resolved...

It was due to a mis-configuration of pkgdb that was not allowing package to be retired on EPEL branches.

Thanks for checking up on this and processing it :)
