`zypper dup` indicates `python3-urllib3-1.16-1.1.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5`; what to do now?

zypper dup indicates the below issue and options. Deinstalling what it suggests leads to a snowstorm of other deinstall suggestions (including yast2 parts and perl parts). What’s the suggested approach?

I’m upgrading from here:

# cat /etc/os-release NAME=openSUSE
VERSION="Tumbleweed"
VERSION_ID="20160626"
PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed (20160626) (x86_64)"
ID=opensuse
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:opensuse:20160626"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org"
HOME_URL="https://www.opensuse.org/"
ID_LIKE="suse"

These are the installed python versions:

# pythonpython      python2     python2.7   python3     python3.5   python3.5m  

# ls -al /usr/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     9 Jun 15 15:14 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     9 Jun 15 15:14 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7

-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 10504 Jun 15 17:03 /usr/bin/python3.5m

At the bottom of the message are a list of the python rpm packages.

This is what zypper dup comes up with:

Hi
Try another zypper ref/dup it could be a mirror issue. Plus your a few releases behind, 20160703 has just been released so this may take a little while to propagate.

What Malcolm says + repos ??

zypper lr -d

Malcolm/Kurft: here you go:

Hmm, that last output looks better as a table:

Hi
So the .16 version has not made it out to the mirrors, the joys of using Tumbleweed…

It’s here and built;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/openSUSE:Factory/python3-urllib3?repository=standard

But not published… If you have an obs account you could manually grab the binary…

Thanks.

Can/should I report this anywhere?

Hopefully there won’t be a long wait for a new Tumbleweed build that fixes this.
http://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/1 was showing a few more failures than usual anyway (:

Hi
Either IRC #opensuse-factory or the mailing list https://en.opensuse.org/Communicate
https://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_lists will probably get a response…

No bug. Thanks to DimStar on the IRC channel #openSUSE-factory](https://forums.opensuse.org/irc.opensuse.org/openSUSE-factory), I got it resolved.

TL;DR: after you’ve done installing your system and performed the first zypper dup, then disable/remove the ISO using the alias (or number) of the repo.

In my case the second suggestion of zypper dup indicated an older python-cupshelper installed version related to the ISO repo:


# zypper search --details cupshelpers
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...


S | Name                | Type    | Version   | Arch   | Repository           
--+---------------------+---------+-----------+--------+----------------------
i | python-cupshelpers  | package | 1.5.7-7.2 | noarch | (System Packages)    
v | python-cupshelpers  | package | 1.5.6-1.1 | noarch | openSUSE-20150508-0  
  | python3-cupshelpers | package | 1.5.7-8.1 | noarch | Main Repository (OSS)

openSUSE-20150508-0 was an enabled repository which prevents zypper from removing the python-cupshelpers package even though in the Main Repository (OSS) it has been replaced by `python3-cupshelpers.

DimStar phrased it like this:

[14:10]  pretty much everything on the DVD is outdated[14:11]  as the package that no longer makes sense exists in 'a currently enabled repo', the removal of it is not considered a first-class valid solution
[14:12]  (but is an offered solution by zypper dup - in your case solution 2)

Disabling the ISO repo makes the list of packages different:

# zypper modifyrepo --disable openSUSE-20150508-0
Repository 'openSUSE-20150508-0' has been successfully disabled.


# zypper search --details cupshelpers
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...


S | Name                | Type    | Version   | Arch   | Repository           
--+---------------------+---------+-----------+--------+----------------------
i | python-cupshelpers  | package | 1.5.7-7.2 | noarch | (System Packages)    
  | python3-cupshelpers | package | 1.5.7-8.1 | noarch | Main Repository (OSS)
# rpm -qa | grep cupshelpers
python-cupshelpers-1.5.7-7.2.noarch

Now zypper dup works again.
