System upgrade trying to install old Python packages

English Install/Boot/Login

[Only happening with Cinnamon; KDE and Xfce are clean]

OK, I normally use sudo zypper dist-upgrade --recommends as part of my weekly maintenance schedule. But after purging the last remaining python310 packages, the aforementioned command wants to reinstall them, while sudo zypper dist-upgrade does not.

How do I find out what current package(s) are recommending these older Python packages? Here’s the list of python310 packages that are wanting to be installed:

libpython3_10-1_0
python310
python310-base
python310-curses
python310-dbm
python310-gobject
python310-gobject-cairo
python310-gobject-Gdk
python310-pip
python310-pycairo
python310-xlrd

That should be default anyway. Have you changed it?

zypper search --recommends-pkg --match-exact ...

Thanks for the reply. No, I have not changed the default, but for some reason only Cinnamon wants to bring in the older Python packages.
