The question is, do you need all of them?

I have:

cer@Telcontar:~> ls /usr/bin/python* /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2-config /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python3.6 /usr/bin/python3.6m-config /usr/bin/python-config /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python3-config /usr/bin/python3.6-config /usr/bin/pythontex /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python2.7-config /usr/bin/python3.10 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ /usr/bin/python3.6m cer@Telcontar:~>

No 3.9 here.

it wants 3.10 and you have 3.10. perhaps more help to OP if you explain how you came to have 3.10. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc

I just updated yt-dlp from 2023.02.17 to 2023.03.04, no issues.

Packages in Leap (or, better, SUSE backports) do not allow multiple Python versions. Python 3.10 conflicts with Python 3.9. This is different in Tumbleweed where multiple Pythons can be installed side by side.

Notice that I do not have "python39-setuptools", which seems to cause the problem:

I already asked OP whether Python 3.9 was required, but there was no response.

Hi Carlos,

according to your post I carried out the command. The result has been:

https://susepaste.org/1650d87c12fb https://paste.opensuse.org/1650d87c12fb

No, I said "zypper lr --details". You didn't put "--details". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

@Carlos

sorry I cannot follow.

I carried out exactly (as you advised) the following command:

zypper lr --details | susepaste -n "Michael" -t "repo list" -e 10080

I did it again. So the links for the second try are:

https://susepaste.org/39bd46517cc3 https://paste.opensuse.org/39bd46517cc3

I cannot see any difference in the result.

Sorry, my fault. No, I do not get the horizontal sliding bar!

Note: Perhaps you have not noticed that there is a sliding bar at the bottom edge of the window on susepaste page.

Wow, I now see it. Very tiny, inside the text bar. Let me check things that /might/ not be correct. Repos 2 and 3 have automatic refresh disabled. I would change that, or, force a refresh. zypper refresh --force I don't see any disabled repo that should be enabled, nor any repo pointing to another openSUSE release. So, nothing obvious there. I would try to uninstall python39 things. rpm -qa | grep python39 rpm --erase list... or zypper uninstall list... If it complains, let's see what package complains. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

@Many Thanks to Carlos and Manfred. 1) I carried out enabling repo 2 and 3 with automatic refresh. 2) I removed all python39 files I could find: $ rpm -qa | grep python39 python39-3.9.16-150300.4.24.1.x86_64 python39-idle-3.9.16-150300.4.24.1.x86_64 python39-base-3.9.16-150300.4.24.1.x86_64 python39-tk-3.9.16-150300.4.24.1.x86_64 python39-setuptools-44.1.1-150300.7.6.1.noarch python39-dbm-3.9.16-150300.4.24.1.x86_64 python39-pip-20.2.4-7.8.1.noarch python39-curses-3.9.16-150300.4.24.1.x86_64 3) I finally installed yt-dlp Here the result was that 4 automatically recommended packages were installed python310 python310-curses python310-dbm python310-pip which result in installation of 9 new packages: libpython3_10-1_0 python310 python310-base python310-curses python310-dbm python310-pip python310-setuptools yt-dlp yt-dlp-bash-completion Installation properly finished. yt-dlp works fine at first go.
