Vorta fails to start in recent snapshot

andrea.ippo · January 11, 2024, 3:47pm

Hi all,

since a couple of days I’ve noticed that vorta won’t start anymore, it seems a python dependency problem.

Could someone please help/recommend a workaround? Thanks

Snapshot 20240109

Ok I think I got it, that package is too new and violates the <4.0.0 requirement now

I guess it’s up to Vorta to be a bit more permissive on the version of this dependency.

@andrea.ippo the openSUSE version needs updating, it’s fixed upstream… I’ll look at branching and submitting… they have also moved to QT-6…

andrea.ippo · January 11, 2024, 4:48pm

Ok, thanks a lot @malcolmlewis

Warming up zypper, then

malcolmlewis · January 11, 2024, 4:50pm

@andrea.ippo it’s updated and working here (well starting), do you have an openSUSE Build Service account?
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:malcolmlewis:branches:Archiving:Backup/vorta

andrea.ippo · January 11, 2024, 4:55pm

I do and will test right away, thanks!

EDIT: ok please help me out @malcolmlewis , I’m not really very experienced with OBS.

As far as I can tell a build for TW (my arch is x86_64) has succeeded today not long ago:

But I can’t find an RPM to download directly, and also zypper doesn’t seem to pull the updated artifact after adding your repo. I must be doing sth wrong, could you kindly assist?

 andrea  ~  105  sudo zypper update

Thanks

@andrea.ippo you need to be logged into the Build Service and click on the “openSUSE _Tumbleweed” link then you can select the download link on the right hand side.

andrea.ippo · January 11, 2024, 5:07pm

Man I thought it was just a header and clicked the link for x86_64 just below, which are just the build logs.
Fail on my side
Thanks!

EDIT: @malcolmlewis installed and run just fine, backup was successful. For me it’s a GO

Thanks again for your help.

I’ll also close the ticket in vorta’s github, the author kindly offered to backport the more permissive dependency to the 0.8 branch, but at this point I guess it’s not worth to make them spend time on it, right?

malcolmlewis · January 11, 2024, 5:32pm

@andrea.ippo lets see if my submit request is accepted, but yes I would suggest not worrying about backporting at this point…

There is also a bugreport at openSUSE bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218681

malcolmlewis · January 11, 2024, 5:34pm

@hui updated the bug report…

wmf42 · January 12, 2024, 1:58am

Thank you. I got working it by modification of /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/vorta-0.8.12-py3.11.egg-info/requires.txt

[:sys_platform != "darwin"]
platformdirs<5.0.0,>=2.6.0

Now waiting for the 0.9.1 via zypper.

andrea.ippo · January 12, 2024, 2:42pm

I would really like to put a [SOLVED] prefix in the title but I can’t seem to find a way (maybe I’m not allowed to?)

If anyone can, please go ahead. Thanks

Makes sense, thanks for sharing!

andrea.ippo · January 15, 2024, 1:27pm

@malcolmlewis is there anything I can do to speed up the approval of your request?
Thanks

malcolmlewis · January 15, 2024, 2:00pm

@andrea.ippo not really, the Maintainers get notifications it’s there…

malcolmlewis · January 17, 2024, 11:49pm

@andrea.ippo it’s accepted and in Factory, so should be in the next snapshot… enjoy and remember to have fun!

andrea.ippo · January 18, 2024, 9:52am

Thanks @malcolmlewis, that’s great!

I will try to keep in mind the fun thingy!

Cheers!
