That site gave you a download link, which you used:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dliw/15.4/noarch/python3-of...
Do you see the word "repositories"?
And do you see the word "home"?
Well, that's the download link from some home repo, named "dliw".
Thanks for the explanation. And now I know as well. Yet, I find no mention of how to contact the author. Be that as it may.
Because that I'm not confident to explain. It is a weak point of the system. As it is a home repo, there is no bugzilla link. I'll try. Go to: https://build.opensuse.org/ enter the repo name in search. https://build.opensuse.org/search?search_text=dliw One of the results is: project home:mmeiste:branches:home:dliw : Branch project for package offlineimap This project was created for package offlineimap via attribute OBS:Maintained That's the one. Or it could be the next one: project home:dliw I'll assume it is this one. So go there. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:dliw Click on the "users" tab, and there you find him/her. I think you need a login on the build service to obtain the email.
There one finds:python-imaplib2-3.6-lp154.7.1.src.rpm
Which sadly does not matching the version of python used by offlineimap (not offlineimap3) that I am currently able to compile. While it may be possible a usable version of imaplib2 is tucked away in there, the KEY errors seem insurmountable for me at the moment, solutions not yielding to my non AI enhanced search engine skills.
That said, if people want feedback to authors or maintainers on issues encountered, they ought to make it relatively easy for harried hackers to have at it.
Of course, but a home repo is not "published". That is not a repo intended for users to just download and install things. It is just the playground of someone. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
