Subject: [PATCH] RHEL-1245: Remove /usr/bin from sys.path to avoid accidentally importing garbage
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2057340
and https://github.com/benjaminp/six/issues/359
dnf should never import Python modules from /usr/bin but users can
have files in there that look like Python modules and Python will
try to import them and fail.
Consider a tool that is *not* written in Python and is called "copy.pyc".
Naturally, it resides in /usr/bin/copy.pyc and dnf fails:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 57, in <module>
from dnf.cli import main
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dnf/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
import dnf.base
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 31, in <module>
from copy import deepcopy
ImportError: bad magic number in 'copy': b'...'
Similarly, a tool actually written in Python, called "copy.py"
might as well own /usr/bin/copy.py and dnf fails as well:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 57, in <module>
from dnf.cli import main
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dnf/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
import dnf.base
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 31, in <module>
from copy import deepcopy
ImportError: cannot import name 'deepcopy' from 'copy' (/usr/bin/copy.py)
Either problem can happen for a variety of names.
We better not let that happen.
A more general solution that would prevent Python doing this entirely
does not exists yet, see https://discuss.python.org/t/4235
Hence, proposing this to dnf, which is a critical piece of the system.
