You can run: zypper search --provides 'python(abi) = 3.5' ; which would basically ask zypper to tell you what provides python3.5.X. My hunch here is that "OpenCobolIDE" was built w/ 'python3.5.X' but your system is running (as you show) 3.6.15 and nothing will actually provide 3.5 (not sure if it's gone from Leap). You can run: 'zypper info --requires <name of package>' or 'rpm -q --requires /path/to/package.rpm' Most (possibly, all - by definition maybe?) python packages will report their required 'python(abi)' and/or have it in the name. At least in my experience putting python packages together. -- ~ Scott Bradnick |- Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Developer |-- Tumbleweed: |--- Dell Precision 5540 [NVIDIA Quadro T1000] (x86_64) |--- O-DROID H2+ [UHD Graphics 600] (x86_64) |--- IceWhale ZimaBoard 832 [Intel HD Graphics 500] (x86_64) |--- 2x Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2 (aarch64) |--- 1x Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 (aarch64) |--- WinBook TW100 (x86_64) https://keys.openpgp.org/ :: DBC5AA9A2D2BAEBC
