The spyder python IDE fails to start because it requires a version of python38-watchdog <2.0.0,>=0.10.3.

TW 20210519 jumped python-38-watchdog from 1.0.2 to 2.1.1.

I've raised a bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1186327

Can't the problem be solved by symlinks with the required library names? (pointing to the real name of version 2.1.1) Cheers, Juan -- USA LINUX OPENSUSE QUE ES SOFTWARE LIBRE, NO NECESITAS PIRATEAR NADA Y NI TE VAS A PREOCUPAR MAS POR LOS VIRUS Y SPYWARES: http://www.opensuse.org/es/ Puedes visitar mi blog en: http://jerbes.blogspot.com.ar/

Python packages are not libraries, which you could "symlink". The problem is that the egg-info for watchdog (correctly) says that it is at "Version: 2.1.1", but spyder says in it's egg-info/requires.txt and a couple of more places that it needs <2.0.0. The Spyder devs really like their pinning, whether it is necessary or not [1, 2, 3]. And they are really adamant about enforcing it. So thanks for keeping this on distro level and not annoying them by openSUSE quirks.

Even worse, I missed that sypder 5.0.3 also requires spyder-kernels >= 2.0.3.

Fixed in sr#894844 [4]
