python-rocksdb and rocksdb 6.x are missing from newer distributions and preventing usage of electrumx #236

Ubuntu 22.04 seems to be the last distro to provide python-rocksdb and rocksdb 6.x. PIP version of python-rocksdb is obsolete and git version won't build with newer RocksDB.

Are there any solutions/plans to continue using electrumx in the future?

You can always just use leveldb. In fact that is the default. But yeah, it's unfortunate that rocksdb does not have maintained bindings for python.
