Error installing dependencies for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed #638

oulenz commented 2025年04月30日 15:05:39 +02:00

When I try to install python3-cairo-devel and gobject-introspection-devel, I get the error:

nothing provides 'this-is-only-for-build-envs' needed by the to be installed glib2-stage1-devel-2.84.1-2.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: downgrade of gio-branding-openSUSE-42.1-23.2.noarch to gio-branding-openSUSE-42.1-2.1.noarch
 Solution 2: do not ask to install a solvable providing python3-cairo-devel
 Solution 3: break glib2-stage1-devel-2.84.1-2.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Any idea what is going on here and what might be the best way forward? (@jwijenbergh)

what if you install python3-cairo instead?

Thanks for your response!

That's already installed. Yet when I try pipx install "eduvpn-client[gui]", I get

Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
 /home/oliver/.local/state/pipx/log/cmd_2025年04月30日_16.14.56_pip_errors.log
pip seemed to fail to build package:
 pygobject<=3.50.0,>=3.38.0
Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
 error: subprocess-exited-with-error
 ../cairo/meson.build:31:12: ERROR: Dependency "cairo" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake
 error: metadata-generation-failed
Error installing eduvpn-client from spec 'eduvpn-client[gui]'.

@oulenz
The package which provides 'pygobject' is 'python-gobject' in openSUSE for packaging and naming conventions. That is, for example, providing multiple python flavors (python3, python310, python311) with a very handy macro in a single specfile.

If you want to build 'pygobject' anyway, you will have to resolve many more dependencies and we will need a much deeper insight into your system. Maybe this spec file can help you find out what you need:

• https://build.opensuse.org/projects/openSUSE:Factory/packages/python-gobject/files/python-gobject.spec

Lastly, feel free to install 'eduvpn-client' as a drop-in from network:vpn, which I provide. I will also propose it to "Factory" soon.

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:vpn/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/network:vpn.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install eduvpn-client

Should be resolved by the documented package
