Getting past the Python dependency problem during zypper dup

Is there a way around the Python dependency problem when updating Tumbleweed?

When I use Debian Sid, and, dependencies are waiting for solution, I can use the “–solver=aspcud” during DU.(apt-get --solver-aspcuid dist-upgrade) to get past the problem.

Right now I have 4 problems when updating.
4 Problems:
Problem: python3-wxPython-4.0.1-2.3.x86_64 requires python(abi) = 3.6, but this requirement cannot be provided
Problem: python3-tqdm-4.28.1-1.1.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.6, but this requirement cannot be provided
Problem: eric-19.01-1.3.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.7, but this requirement cannot be provided
Problem: hplip-3.18.6-1.4.x86_64 requires python(abi) = 3.7, but this requirement cannot be provided

Problem: python3-wxPython-4.0.1-2.3.x86_64 requires python(abi) = 3.6, but this requirement cannot be provided
deleted providers: python3-base-3.6.5-3.3.x86_64
Solution 1: deinstallation of python3-wxPython-4.0.1-2.3.x86_64
Solution 2: keep obsolete python3-base-3.6.5-3.3.x86_64
Solution 3: break python3-wxPython-4.0.1-2.3.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Does using Solution 1, 2 or 3 make any sense at this time? I’ve already passed by 3 updates. Should I lock the packages using zypper addlock, or should I just wait until all the python packages are rebuilt? Or, am I missing something?

Thanks in advance, I’ve been using Tumbleweed for quite a while and never had to skip 3 updates before, and, I couldn’t find solutions on the mailing list or here in the forums.

Hi
So python3-wxPython has been fixed in the development repo, but not made it through to Factory… since there are delays in the next snapshot consider a manual download of the package and install…

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/wxWidgets/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64/python3-wxPython-4.0.4-10.1.x86_64.rpm

Once it’s fixed and published, you can switch back on a zypper dup.

Thank you for the quick replies.

Both python3-wxPython and eric updates seem to have succeeded. Thanks for the links to the build service.

hplip is still waiting for a Tumbleweed update. This might be a candidate for a hold.

I can’t find python3-tqdm on the build service, although python-tqdm is there. I’m not familiar enough with python to know if that’s a replacement or not. I’m still looking.

Thanks again. I’m almost there.

Hi
It’s there and under details, ABI 3.7 :wink:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/openSUSE:Factory/python-tqdm/standard

https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary/openSUSE:Factory/python-tqdm/standard/x86_64/python3-tqdm-4.28.1-1.2.noarch.rpm

Likely some further dependency in the above.

Many python packages are single spec now and build both python2 and python3 rpms at the same time, no need to maintain two packages like in the past…
