FreeIPA installation failing with new version of python-dns

I will investigate later, but we cannot push this updates because it affects freeIPA installation

Upstream says the problem is in FreeIPA. Sounds like it needs to be upstream in FreeIPA or in a patch.

From https://github.com/rthalley/dnspython/issues/214

This is a consequence of two things: 1) after the python 2/3 code merge what used to be unicode objects in the TXT record strings field became bytes objects, and 2) the FreeIPA code is directly invoking the TXT RR constructor instread of calling dns.rdata.from_text(), which is how dnspython would like you to do this kind of thing. If FreeIPA had called dns.rdata.from_text(), the right thing would have happened.

So at this point I think the best thing is to change the FreeIPA code as it will then work with any version of dnspython. I don't want to start making RR constructors apply lots of conversions as that's a job already handled in from_text().

Okay. Please do not push this to stable until this is fixed in FreeIPA, we will have a look. I do not want to break all the IPA users.

Ok, just let me know when FreeIPA has been pushed.

FreeIPA has been released and dnspython 1.15 works

FreeIPA 4.4.2 works

seems fine here (existing IPA client)
