I think you need to rebuild the package then install it.

amixra · 2024-05-04 08:06:20

Yes worked. LOL. What could be the reason behind it?

WorMzy · 2024-05-04 08:53:37

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues

Big Python updates require Python packages to be rebuild. For some reason they didn't think a bump that made it necessary to rebuild half the official repo was a news post.

Why would it require a news post when for the official packages no user intervention is required?

Makes sense, but on the other hand since that update, and even though I already updated packages from extra that are built for that version of python, still everything is broken for me. And from the looks of it, I am not alone

You might want https://github.com/maximbaz/rebuild-detector to be able to notice packages in your system require rebuilding.

This is not specific to python packages. It is a user's responsibility to rebuild AUR packages when dependencies have ABI-breaking updates.

Define "everything"

From the looks of what?

If you want help, you need to define the problem by describing your symptoms.

Who uses the AUR anyway, right?

An update hook like the one for perl would be potentially useful.

Well, not really everything, I was just getting a wee bit frustrated. As it usually happens, I figured out what needed to be cleaned, rebuilt, etc. One of these wasn't even a package, but a script using its own venv. Don't I love python and its many virtual envs /s

Loads of recent posts around here about python related stuff not working.

Fair, and thanks, but as I wrote above in this post, after crying about it online, I realized where I needed to do more.

I suspect many of us solve problems this way. I keep drafts of my complaints, and work on the draft until I feel it is suitably complete and the problem properly documented before I post it on the forum. An exceedingly vast majority of these problems are then solved before I post.

It's much more effective to do the crying part in private so one does not become known as the boy who cried chicken little ... or something like that.

That might reach even more people than the news.
