[SOLVED] grass 7.8.2 AUR conflict python-wxpython

Hi there,

I need to install GRASS 7.8.2 or another version of GRASS 7. I am aware of the risk of installing AUR packages, but I need the software.

I tried to install it from AUR repo, but it was reported an error "Wrong python version inside this grass package (symbolic link). It couldn't work like this. Python2 is deprecated in grass 7.8 Line 55 in PKGBUILD should be deleted, it's a nonsense to link python2 inside grass 7.8 ... Install some extension and you will see some problems!"

This is the outcome:

$ yaourt -S grass

You probably installed something with sudo pip NEVER install something with sudo pip, you will break your system.

For how to fix this particular error read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … )%22_error

Thanks for your help!

As the wiki indicates, I first checked that the files listed above had no owner package

pacman -Qo /path/to/file

and then renamed them. After that I was able to install Grass 7. Thanks!
