Errors in "make test" with Ubuntu 16.04 about amavisvt HOT 4 CLOSED

How did you install the dependencies of amavisvt? Via pip or via apt?
Unfortunately, there are multiple python libraries which provide bindings to libmagic. amavisvt supports filemagic (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/filemagic) and python-magic (https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic).

Could you please tell me which one (and which version) do you have installed?

from amavisvt.

All dependencies are installed with apt. These are the ones I have installed for amavisvt:

python-levenshtein : 0.12.0-2build1
python-magic : 1:5.25-2ubuntu1
python-memcache : 1.57-1
python-mock : 1.3.0-2.1ubuntu1
python-pytest : 2.8.7-4
python-requests : 2.9.1-3
python-setproctitle : 1.1.8-1build2

Also, for reference:
libmagic1:amd64 : 1:5.25-2ubuntu1

I can't seem to find python-filemagic available for Ubuntu/Debian.

from amavisvt.

The package python-magic in Ubuntu doesn't seem to be the package python-magic on pypi (http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python-magic vs. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-magic).

Could you please try to remove the package python-magic via apt and install it from pypi?

from amavisvt.

That seems correct, the python-magic package provided by Ubuntu seems to be a part of the libmagic1 software. It seems to have at least some of the same functions, though.

Anyway, installing python-magic with pypi made all tests pass. This will work fine, even though I would prefer using packages. Thanks for the support!
