Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

No response

Expected behaviour

Working program without exceptions.

Actual behaviour

eyeD3 prints an exception upon launch. It looks like it isn't fatal, the program continues to do its work and it exits with return code 0, but having an exception raised is still undesirable.

I am not familiar with Python's packaging system so I can't submit a fix for this issue. I tried to install python3-coverage but the exception persists.

Here is the error message:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Steps to reproduce

1. xbps-install -S eyeD3

2. eyeD3

Regardless of the cause of the issue, it's weird that python3-coverage is needed at all, because it should only be used for tests.

[meator]

It looks like the packaged python3-coverage is too new for eyeD3. The only solution I see is updating eyeD3 (as in #39898).
