If you see something like this, the "error" is that AUR packages are not rebuilt when the system Python version is upgraded, which just happened again with 3.9. You need to manually upgrade each and every Python package from AUR, unfortunately. That is quite a caveat, because not everyone notices that something specific like Python is upgraded when they run pacman -Syu and see a list of 200 or more packages. This also happens with Node.js and what not.

Solution

So I have just bumped the package here as well as python-conda-build, which triggers updates with e.g. yay -Su. However, some dependencies may not have a new version now. What we could do for this case is to increase pkgrel for those other packages. It feels hacky, but at least it works.

Addendum

I am sorry for the inconvenience. Now the remaining problem is: Because of the bunch of dependencies and dependencies of dependencies, it is easy to miss one of them. =) Secondly, I do not own all the dependencies, so some will need manual maintenance either way, unfortunately. For example, you will need to reinstall python-glob2-git. Please let us know here if anyone of you runs into issues and we will try to help.

Notes

To rebuild, you need to pass the --rebuild option.

Example: yay -S python-glob2-git --rebuild

specter119: thanks ;) I will try to update it today or tomorrow.

@iyanmv I agree, orphaned, and thanks.

specter119: this has been flagged as out of date for almost a year. Any plans to catch up with latest release? If you don't have the time anymore, perhaps consider orphaning the package so other people can help maintain it.

@rafauke never mind, I will try to build it recently? seems harder than previously.

Hello @cyrevolt, I don't really want to maintain this package, apologies for the misunderstanding.

I've added rafauke as another co-maintainer.

Hope that helps keeping this package more up to date. 🙂 They also file an orphan request. I will disown the package so they can take over. Good luck and thank you!

@specter119: Thanks a lot! So, sounds like there isn't much difference between this and miniconda3, in that case I prefer the one that's mostly updated... About micromamba-bin: Never heard of that before, I'll look a bit into that and see if I should try it out, thanks!

@newsboost

updated, For miniconda3, it has a built-in(the base) env. For python-conda, only provides the conda binary. The base env is like the system python, which you can not modify.

BTW, I personally recommend trying the micromamba-bin currently. for mamba is a more powerful python env/lib manager based on conda's resources.

Hi. Sorry, what's the difference between this and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/miniconda3 ? Both seem to provide conda - that confuses me... On the other hand, this package seems pretty dead since it hadn't been updated since October - 5 months...

Since that python-conda is providing /usr/bin/conda, could you please include

provides=('conda')
