Unfortunately I didn't realize this was the case. Up to now, if I found
no Slackbuild, I'd install with pip. "Don't do that", I guess.
When I previously
suggested removing python-importlib_metadata, I was talking about
removing the slackware SBo package.
Understood, and I did exactly that a couple of tries ago. No luck. "pip3
uninstall" was a subsequent act of desperation.
I would start with cleaning up any python stuff not properly installed
via slackware packaging.
OK...
pip3 list & compare with /var/log/packages -> quite a few pip3-installed
packages found and removed. I shudder to think what I may have broken
along the way...
# as root get a list of anything pip installed and uninstall them.
(If you have had pip install anything as your regular user, that can
cause problems too, but is out of scope for the moment)
pip3 list --user
pip3 uninstall <list from above if there is anything>
pip3 list --user -> reported two packages, removed both
# sbocheck has a list of "out-of-tree builds...", remove those packages
sbocheck tells me:
Checking for bumped SlackBuilds... No build numbers differ.
Checking for out-of-tree builds... No out-of-tree _SBo builds.
# one example I know is installed, added zipp and importlib just in case...
removepkg python3-pep517 python-zipp python-importlib_metadata
all of these were already gone
# another old build that might cause issues
removepkg python3-pyproject-metadata
done.
Try to build python3-setuptools-opt again and let us know.
I had already managed to build it but just to make sure:
sboinstall --reinstall python3-setuptools-opt
Built:
python3-flit_core python3-installer python3-pyproject-hooks
python3-build python3-packaging-opt python3-wheel python3-setuptools-opt
Good.
But still same issue with python-zipp and python-importlib_metadata
Sleep first, then regroup and try again.
thanks!
