Hi, Both on my local machine and on the CI[0], the Calibre test suite has been failing with the following error:
====================================================================== ERROR: test_msgpack (calibre.test_build.BuildTest) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/guix-build-calibre-3.42.0.drv-0/calibre-3.42.0/src/calibre/test_build.py", line 124, in test_msgpack self.assertEqual(obj, msgpack_loads(s)) File "/tmp/guix-build-calibre-3.42.0.drv-0/calibre-3.42.0/src/calibre/utils/serialize.py", line 113, in msgpack_loads return msgpack.unpackb(dump, ext_hook=msgpack_decoder, raw=False, use_list=use_list) File "/gnu/store/z7dz4iiaivmadhk0x50qs5zv3rwykrmd-python2-msgpack-1.0.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/msgpack/fallback.py", line 129, in unpackb ret = unpacker._unpack() File "/gnu/store/z7dz4iiaivmadhk0x50qs5zv3rwykrmd-python2-msgpack-1.0.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/msgpack/fallback.py", line 666, in _unpack "%s is not allowed for map key" % str(type(key)) ValueError: <type 'int'> is not allowed for map key ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is happening on both staging and master. There have been no changes to the calibre package itself since January. I have run a git bisect and the offending change appears to be in commit 66ab2f5e3a0df665f6e39203aedd2bf4812e6a71, when python-msgpack was updated to version 1.0.0.
