Arch Linux

Description:

With the latest available version of the fabric package, the fab command fails immediately because of a missing dependency on the decorator module:

--------------------------------
❯ fab
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/fabric/connection.py", line 5, in <module>
from invoke.vendor.six import StringIO
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'invoke.vendor'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fab", line 5, in <module>
from fabric.main import program
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/fabric/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
from .connection import Config, Connection
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/fabric/connection.py", line 10, in <module>
from decorator import decorator
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'decorator'
--------------------------------

Installing python-decorator fixes this.

This is most likely caused by the python-invoke "devendoring" Invoke dependencies: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/08d8907ddf487ba25dd59b44c7c2b5e9b35cc1c2/trunk/PKGBUILD#L20. So, not sure exactly where the bug is (fabric or python-invoke).


Additional info:
* fabric 2.7.1-1
* python-invoke 1.7.3-1
* python-decorator 5.1.1-2

Steps to reproduce:
* install fabric
* try to run `fab`: it fails
* install python-decorator
* retry to run `fab`: it works
