Hi Robert, I'm not running any special python, so "standard python" of SLES15 should be active:

python3 -V Python 3.6.13

In the traceback there are some paths with "python3.6" so I estimate that actually this version is active.

I have `python3-salt-3002.2-37.1` installed and it's running fine and our QA testing salt we are releasing for all supported OSes. Try to update salt-minion with all of it's dependencies, I beleive it should work.

It seems that Patch SUSE-15-SP2-2021-2106 is responsible for dysfunction of the service salt-minion. BTW: Is there a way to block a patch from being activated in general? Regards, Tobias Crefeld.
