If you get a module not found error for portmod or any of its dependencies after the python version has updated, you need to re-install those packages (portmod depends on a few python packages that are rarely updated). See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python#Module_not_found_after_Python_version_update

The index issue when syncing/querying I've run into before occasionally when updating from one version of portmod to the next (more specifically, one version of the tantivy indexer). Portmod will handle most index build issues by deleting and re-building the index from scratch, but it can't catch the panic. You can manually fix the issue by deleting the index (should be in ~/.cache/portmod/index). I guess in future it would be better to have portmod delete the index every time the tantivy version changes (breaking version changes at least). I've created an issue to track the problem: https://gitlab.com/portmod/portmod/-/issues/439.

I'm not sure about the issue with loading tamriel-data (I can't reproduce it), but what is 'gitaids'?

Also a friendly reminder that these comments are meant for issues with the AUR package, and while it's not a huge problem to report upstream problems here, it may be helpful to minimize off-topic comments to keep problems related to the AUR package visible (no threads or closable issues here unfortunately, though I guess I can pin comments about problems that come up repeatedly). Issues with portmod itself should be reported on the portmod issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/portmod/portmod/-/issues

Not a problem of the software itself, but due to the use of gitaids, here is an error I get with openmw repo (?)

portmod openmw merge --update --deep @world

Thanks for the python-python-sat update :)

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python#Module_not_found_after_Python_version_update

Ok, it's not just Perl that has this. Thanks, now I'll just check with ls -ld /usr/lib/python* I had also something from Python 3.8 ^^"

I generally avoid it since it only helps if the bump occurs before someone runs an update

I guess in official repos the simultaneous updates avoid that issue.

Thanks for the guideline. I'll err on the side of caution like you.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python#Module_not_found_after_Python_version_update

It happens after every python update. I'm not actually sure if there's an official policy on AUR pkgrel bumps after python updates, but I generally avoid it since it only helps if the bump occurs before someone runs an update and otherwise just leads to unnecessary rebuilds. But python-sat is probably due an update anyway (they don't really do releases) so I'll bump the version on that; it looks like there have been a few bugfixes which could possibly be relevant to portmod.

For anyone else having ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysat' and ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rply'

I was able to build after rebuiling python-python-sat and python-rply. Should I flag them out of date? I'm not sure it's valid for a case of a rebuild needed.

Thank you, I could reinstall python-baron with yay -S python-baron --mflags "--nocheck".

I have no clue about what python-baron or python-redbaron does, but I can see that the git of python-baron has its last commit 4 years ago - there is several PRs not merged and I would say this package is abandoned. Maybe you could rely on other packages instead.

Fixing the baron error leads me to:

There is two warning

WARNING: while setting up extension sphinxcontrib.apidoc: Failed to convert [[<class 'str'>]] to a frozenset
[..]
WARNING:root:Architecture test could not be found. It may not be a supported Architecture.

I am not sure what fails the build.

Note: im running python-sphinx-8.2.3-1

Still working for me, with the exception that the manpage generation was producing a warning that was being treated as an error and making the build fail (the warning doesn't appear to have a negative effect, though I don't know exactly what's causing it). I've pushed a quick change to the package that makes that warning nonfatal.

The simple workaround for baron is just to edit the PKGBUILD and remove the tests. If you're using makepkg directly you can use --nocheck instead. I'm not sure if any of the AUR helpers let you skip checks, but yay at least will let you edit the PKGBUILD through its interface with --editmenu.

With the latest update to python-restrictedpython 8.0-1 i get further.

The following warning appears:

I then had to rebuild python-python-sat, python-redbaron and python-baron. The later failed to build because of some tests.

You reported a workaround on the package page - but I am unsure if I can apply it. Hence I reported the error.

In conclusion: Still no portmod available on arch
