That is essentially my reading of the situation. Here's what I just committed which also refs commit c1aa6259cd1954182a02ede393c3540dcda33a11 Author: Chris Lamb <la...@debian.org> Date: Sun Aug 18 18:22:31 2024 +0100 Also catch RuntimeError when importing PyPDF so that PyPDF or, crucially, its transitive dependencies do not cause diffoscope to traceback at runtime and build time. (Closes: Debian:#1078944, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#389) The root or even primary cause of this bug is not in diffoscope itself; rather, the cause is to be found between src:python3-cryptography and src:openssl — see bugs #1078747 and #965041 for more details. However, diffoscope should (and easily can…) be mindful that importing external libraries could result in exceptions other than ImportError when we have reason to believe that they might do so. We already do so in fsimage.py for a complicated library (guestfs), so I think it's not at all unreasonable to catch it here, too. Alas I can't seem to reproduce this on my local machine or in a clean sid chroot, so I am uploading the following patch after simply having a hard stare at the code… albeit on a warm Sunday afternoon. diff --git a/diffoscope/comparators/pdf.py b/diffoscope/comparators/pdf.py index 7584ae0c..30a6f803 100644 --- a/diffoscope/comparators/pdf.py +++ b/diffoscope/comparators/pdf.py @@ -72,7 +72,7 @@ try: # PyPDF 1.x from PyPDF2.utils import PdfReadError -except ImportError: # noqa +except (ImportError, RuntimeError): # noqa python_module_missing("pypdf") pypdf = None diff --git a/tests/comparators/test_pdf.py b/tests/comparators/test_pdf.py index 25423a5d..738bf95e 100644 --- a/tests/comparators/test_pdf.py +++ b/tests/comparators/test_pdf.py @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ def skip_unless_pypdf3(): def fn(): try: import pypdf - except ImportError: + except (ImportError, RuntimeError): return True return not pypdf.__version__.startswith("3.")
