Wrong version installed even when explicit
Metadata
Current evaluation
Reporter claims a pip3 system install ignored 'six>=1.12.0' and shipped 1.11.0 from base dist-packages; reporter self-closed in Feb 2022 saying it can no longer be reproduced.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The only substantive maintainer response (cjp256, 2020-07-08) attributes it to pip3 system install 'ignores the version requirement if the distribution package is already installed', and the reporter closed it themselves on 2022-02-16: 'Just closed this one. I can no longer confirm the issue.' The referenced code path is also gone from this tree — snapcraft/parts/plugins/python_plugin.py now just subclasses craft_parts' PythonPlugin and only overrides interpreter selection (snapcraft/parts/plugins/python_common.py), with no pip3 system-install logic. With the attached snapcraft.yaml, exact part definition, and a reproducer unavailable and declared unconfirmable by the author after 18 months, there is nothing actionable left; confidence is limited only because the tracker still shows the bug as open and no explicit closure event is visible.

needs triage | Python dependency resolution appears to ignore an explicit six>=1.12.0 constraint, leaving Ubuntu's six 1.11.0; this untriaged report needs a current supported-base reproduction. | |
