How "fresh" is your TW install if it still ships python3-base with Python 3.7? As described in my post from Thursday:
Take an older TW DVD for installation (20200306) Enable online Repos during installation Select other desktops -> MATE pattern Installation files are coming from online-repos (as expected) After installation, run zypper dup to version 20210111 (to get kernel upgraded)
If I see this right, python38-base does 'provide' python3-base, but it does not obsolete it. Which in turn means: nothing obsoletes python3- base.
Maybe there is a migration path issue? Which would be odd that we never saw this happen in openQA - but there we might simply have run victim of the resulting system ot be functional. And the Leap 15 upgrade testst TW (where we have a migration from python3-base to python38- base) do not show this issue.
@Axel: do you have python3-base somehow locked? Or anything badly trying to preserve it?
No....
@Axel: you mention vendor dup: is your python3-base NOT from openSUSE? Anything keeping it in particular present?
All packages are from openSUSE I was surprised to see a (vendor-wise) distinction between Haupt-Repository (OSS) and @System IMO a zypper dup should upgrade to latest python version
(try rpm -e --test python3 python3-base - I'd expect nothing to block those two!_
Nothing blocked manually. But: test@localhost:/mnt> rpm -e --test python3 python3-base error: package python3 is not installed Huh? Cheers Axel Cheers Axel
