python3.6 issue

Post by fpsnige » 2019/05/25 17:08:46

Hi all, I have somehow made a mess of my python3.6u install thats now blocking updates as dnf wont/cant update python it seems so its blocking the entire update process.

Is there anything I can do to remedy this? Perhaps remove python3.6u?

Heres the logs of dnf update

Either exclude the python36-* packages from EPEL or use EPEL instead of IUS. Personally I'd stick with IUS for now.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

@TrevorH: Is using IUS even possible if you want to use cmake3 from EPEL? For some reason (that I can’t find an answer for, maybe it’s in the changelogs), a few months ago Python34 was added as a dependency and recently most/all EPEL packages were updated to use Python36 for the switch in /usr/bin/python3 symlink.

Thanks TrevorH, that did the trick.

Code: Select all

dnf update --exclude=python36-*
