I believe this is now addressed, as discussed in the issue at
<URL:https://pagure.io/python-daemon/issue/1>.

Are you able to try building ‘python-daemon’ from source
<URL:https://pagure.io/python-daemon>? You'll need to modify the
change log document's latest entry, I have not yet released this
change. Choose “2.1.2” or whatever version string you would like to
test.

The resulting distribution should correctly contain the version in the
package metadata, first time.

If you can get that result I think this will satisfy the dependencies
when I release the change in a new version.
