Description Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2016-05-31 16:24:02 UTC

oe-selftest requires gitpython module, however following the reference manual instructions, the package python-GitPython is not found.

There are several ways to fix this problem:

1. Either including a repository where the package is found
2. Install pip (or pip3) and install the package through it.

Path 1 would be the less intrusive one, but 2 can solve the problem no matter what the Linux distro.

Which version of OpenSuse were you using? The online package search lists python-GitPython is in OpenSuse 13.x but missing from Leap 42.1 — presumably because Leap is built on SLED and python-GitPython isn't available in SLED.

https://software.opensuse.org/package/python-GitPython?search_term=GitPython

FWIW we don't list Leap in SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS.

I am using openSUSE Leap 42.1, so you are completely right so closing this one.
