Bug ID	16138
Summary	cracklib has broken python detection, fails to build with python3 default
Product	Codex
Version	test grimoire
Hardware	x86
OS	Linux
Status	NEW
Severity	normal
Priority	P2
Component	security
Assignee	sm-grimoire-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
Reporter	sobukus AT sourcemage.org
Classification	Unclassified

I don't care about cracklib and have enough problems, so I'll only report: It's
broken with pyhton3 as default. It depends on some PYTHON, but there is no
mechanism to select the proper python. The configure script finds
/usr/bin/python and runs with it, failing:

checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 3.8
checking for python platform... linux
checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python3.8/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory...
${exec_prefix}/lib/python3.8/site-packages
checking python3.8/Python.h usability... no
checking python3.8/Python.h presence... no
checking for python3.8/Python.h... no
configure: error: python headers not found
 ! Problem Detected ! 

It misses -I/usr/include/python3.8 in this case (`python-config --includes`
would
tell you this). Maybe we want to get rid of python2 and fix this up for 3 only
(until 4 comes along).

PS: This is in security-libs … we're even missing a bugzilla component for
this.
