In the output of tahoe --version and tahoe --version-and-path, the zope.interface and pyasn1 versions are always shown as 'unknown'. The versions of these dependencies are also not checked against the requirement. This is because these modules have no *version* property (which should be reported as bugs against zope.interface and pyasn1).

Note that pkg_resources cannot be relied on to return correct version numbers; see /tahoe-lafs/trac-2024-07-25/issues/6320#comment:8.

Reported against pyasn1. There is an existing bug against zope.interface.

The bug in pyasn1 is fixed.

The one in zope.interface was wontfixed by an obstinate maintainer who claimed that pkg_resources could be used instead, even though that sometimes gives the wrong version number (and the maintainer was told that by me and Glyph in so many words) :-(
