py-ipaddress was installed using pip and not the ports tree. This is
sometimes confusing: python modules can be installed with pkg, the ports
tree, pip and easy_install.
But py27-ipaddr was installed from the ports tree (as a dependency). For
python packanges I prefer to use pip, because some pure python packages
are not available from the ports tree. But sometimes they mix and I
could not yet find a general good solution.
After uninstalling ipaddress ("pip uninstall ipaddress") the SPF policy
daemon works as expected.
I think that the good solution in this case would be this:
* create a patch for policyd-spf freebsd package, and remove python
import statements for ipaddress package (e.g. force to use ipaddr
package)
* leave py27-ipaddr as a dependency for policyd-spf
This python related bug was still unresolved on bugzilla two months ago.
And because the new package system uses quarterly builds, the bug is
still in the system.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to create and submit a patch. But it
would be very easy, just replacing this:
-----
try:
import ipaddress
except ImportError:
import ipaddr as ipaddress
-----
Into this:
-----
import ipaddr as ipaddress
-----
Removing the ipaddress package is another "solution", but it not good
because it can be installed as a dependency, anytime.
