See error code below. What should I do?

Is something in my system using python? Or can python be safely uninstalled?

advait@localhost:~> sudo zypper dup

Problem: 1: the installed python311-numba-0.60.0-1.2.x86_64 requires '(python311-numpy >= 1.22 with python311-numpy < 2.1)', but this requirement cannot be provided
deleted providers: python311-numpy-2.0.0-1.2.x86_64
not installable providers: python311-numpy1-1.26.4-1.1.x86_64[download.opensuse.org-oss]

 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  deinstallation of python311-pandas-performance-2.2.2-6.1.noarch
  deinstallation of python311-numba-0.60.0-1.2.x86_64
 Solution 2: deinstallation of python311-numpy-2.0.0-1.2.x86_64
 Solution 3: keep obsolete python311-numpy-2.0.0-1.2.x86_64
 Solution 4: break python311-numba-0.60.0-1.2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Let’s see the output to zypper lr -d so we can see what the repos are that you have configured.

Sure. See below. Anything helpful? What should I do next?

@invalid_user_name It’s a packaging error with python-numba shoulb be <= numpy 2.1… rather than < as numpy version is 2.1

If you don’t think it’s needed, go with Solution 1…

See below. So it’s unlikely that any of my apps are using either of these 2 python files? If that’s true, then I’ll execute Solution 1 per your suggestion. I just want to be cautious and check first.

python311-pandas-performance-2.2.2-6.1.noarch
python311-numba-0.60.0-1.2.x86_64

I’m not doing any python coding or any kind of dev work.

I have tried solution 2, and no problem.

Hmmm… I’ve got one vote for Solution 1 and one for Solution 2. I’ll flip a coin, proceed from there and report back. :slightly_smiling_face:

@invalid_user_name Solution 1 allows python311-numpy to update to 2.1 from 2.0…

Do you think it is likely that the creators of this problem will fix it? Therefore, I should just be a bit patient…

Kind regards

@pedroSMS Not sure if it’s a problem if you don’t need numba, one wonders if python311-numpy needs to be downgraded to python311-numpy1 two different packages…

Bug report is probably required to confirm…

Thanks for your reply @malcolmlewis. I’ll leave it for a week and see if anything changes…

I went with Solution 1 and it seems to have worked. I ran sudo zypper dup successfully with no error messages. Thanks!
