#1473 closed defect (invalid)

zope.interface and pyasn1 dependencies have version 'unknown'

Reported by: davidsarah Owned by: somebody
Priority: major Milestone: undecided
Component: packaging Version: 1.8.2
Keywords: version zope.interface pyasn1 Cc:
Launchpad Bug: 531662

Description (last modified by daira)

In the output of tahoe --version and tahoe --version-and-path, the zope.interface and pyasn1 versions are always shown as 'unknown'. The versions of these dependencies are also not checked against the requirement. This is because these modules have no __version__ property (which should be reported as bugs against zope.interface and pyasn1).

Note that pkg_resources cannot be relied on to return correct version numbers; see 1258#comment:8.

The bug in pyasn1 is fixed.

The one in zope.interface was wontfixed by an obstinate maintainer who claimed that pkg_resources could be used instead, even though that sometimes gives the wrong version number (and the maintainer was told that by me and Glyph in so many words) :-(
