Control: affects -1 dfvfs dfwinreg Control: block 852922 by -1 Control: block 852881 by -1 Source: construct Version: 2.8.8-0.1 Severity: grave
Dear maintainer, dfvfs and dfwinreg fail to build from source (test failures) after the recent construct update: ,---- | ImportError: Failed to import test module: volume.lvm_volume_system | Traceback (most recent call last): | File "/usr/lib/python2.7/unittest/loader.py", line 254, in _find_tests | module = self._get_module_from_name(name) | File "/usr/lib/python2.7/unittest/loader.py", line 232, in _get_module_from_name | __import__(name) | File "/home/bengen/p/deb/plaso/dfvfs/tests/volume/lvm_volume_system.py", line 10, in <module> | from dfvfs.volume import lvm_volume_system | File "./dfvfs/volume/lvm_volume_system.py", line 6, in <module> | from dfvfs.resolver import resolver | File "./dfvfs/resolver/__init__.py", line 10, in <module> | from dfvfs.resolver import cpio_resolver_helper | File "./dfvfs/resolver/cpio_resolver_helper.py", line 6, in <module> | import dfvfs.vfs.cpio_file_system | File "./dfvfs/vfs/cpio_file_system.py", line 7, in <module> | from dfvfs.lib import cpio | File "./dfvfs/lib/cpio.py", line 38, in <module> | class CPIOArchiveFile(object): | File "./dfvfs/lib/cpio.py", line 52, in CPIOArchiveFile | construct.UBInt16(u'signature'), | AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'UBInt16' `---- The API changed in an incompatible way between 2.5 and 2.8. <https://github.com/construct/construct/issues/271> was filed for a similar example and the upstream developers don't seem to consider this a bug. Their answer is: "Everything was redesigned in the library. Read the docs end to end first." Being this close to the freeze, it would probably be best revert to the latest 2.5 release.
