The relevant package in Debian-land is python-json-pointer.
I've looked at the source some more, and now believe this is not really
a build issue. The jsonpointer and six modules are not needed in the
build they are only needed at run-time.
I suspect the rpm dependency is being added automagically by the rpm
packaging (there is no reference to jsonpointer in the build/rpm
directory), so that leaves the old rpm platforms as a bit of an issue.
For the non-rpm platforms we can live without any packaging dependency
(I think) provided we guard against inappropriate execution in the QA
environment ... I've added to qa/1052 to notrun if either of the Python
modules jsonpointer or six are not installed (and tested this on FreeBSD).
The second issue (read -u) looks like a RH-ism that might need to be
translated into something more portable.
This is not a RH-ism it is a bash-ism. We run all our QA scripts with
sh(1) not bash(1) ... and read is no part of sh(1) ... it works on some
platforms when sh(1) and bash(1) are apparently the same, but fails on
others where they are different.
This QA test needs some re-engineering to remove the bash-specific read
use and make it a vanilla sh(1) script.
