[gentoo-user] problems with today's update and python 3.12

[John Covici]

Hi there. I am having problems with world update and I don't know how
to solve this one.

Here is my output:

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been
pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

dev-lang/python-exec:2

(dev-lang/python-exec-2.4.10:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for
merge) USE="(native-symlinks) -test" ABI_X86="(64)"

required by (dev-python/slackclient-2.5.0-1:0/0::gentoo, installed)
USE="userland_GNU" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_9
-python3_8"


I tried masking off python 3.12.0, but no joy. I did want to unmerge
python-exec, I thought it would seriously break my system.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Your problem is an outdated dev-python/slackclient which requires
python 3.8 or 3.9. This package does not seem to be in the ::gentoo
repo any more, so I would try to find an alternative.

tThanks, hat was brilliant ---- out of curiosity, how did you figure it out
since slack was not mentioned in the output?

It is. Look at the last line. Python-exec wants to pull python-3.9
because dev-python/slackclient (already installed) asks for it.

OK, missed that one -- thanks.
