I'm going to post this workaround on every package involved, since a fix to these circular dependencies may not come easily: both python-expects and python-doublex-expects depends on python-mamba for their tests, while python-mamba uses python-doublex-expects (which depends on python-expects) in its tests suite. It's a mess.

The workaround is to install both python-expects and python-doublex-expects by skipping their check steps, since both depend on python-mamba.

If you are using an helper like yay you can do this quickly by running: yay -Sy --mflags "--nocheck" aur/python-expects aur/python-doublex-expects.

Now you can install python-mamba normally (and, if you want, reinstall python-expects and python-doublex-expects as well, so that they may go through their normal check steps).

Otherwise, to do this manually start with python-expects:

• download the PKGBUILD file from aur

• install the package using makepkg -si --nocheck from the folder where you saved the PKGBUILD file. This will skip the check step and won't try to install python-mamba.

Then repeat these steps for python-doublex-expects (but first make sure python-doublex from aur is installed, since makepkg can't install that for you).

Finally, install python-mamba normally (and optionally reinstall the expects packages, as discussed above).

As explained by leaveye I get this circular dependency loop as well with python-mamba. Any suggestions?

This package depends on, and is dependent by python-mamba. leads to a dependency loop. depend tree image
