Comment # 5 on bug 1222761 from Aaron Williams
According to the Electronics repository, kicad is 7.0.9-lp155.127.1 but other
components are 8.0. They all must be 8.0, especially the kicad component. 
Kicad is tricky to build on OpenSUSE for several reasons. For one, it heavily
makes use of WxWidgets and wants 3.1.x or later as well as requiring Python 3.8
or later (not the default 3.6). I have 3.11 installed, but cannot get wxPython
(Phoenix) for Python 3.11 to build or install with the wxWidgets included with
OpenSUSE.

In order to build my own Kicad 8.0 I have had to build my own copy of WxWidgets
3.2 as well as build my own wxPython linked against my local build of
wxWidgets. I also ran into problems in that it required the wxWidgets spell
check be enabled (which it is not in OpenSUSE. I have been building up-to-date
Kicad for some time on OpenSUSE and I have never been able to get it to build
or run with the included wxWidgets.

I do a fair bit of PCB work and use Kicad quite a bit.
