Sorry for my ignorance but iv been using autojump for a couple of years but today it tried to update but has the following error 

❰greg❙~❱✔≻ yay -Syu

I do not see a python 3.8 because 3.7.4-2 is the latest for Manjaro (Arch)?

@JackDinn - See my comments in https://github.com/wting/autojump/issues/593 ... this is not an issue related to upstream. It is that Manjaro != Arch Linux. Your python version is behind Arch's python version.

You can change the depends= and the _python= in the PKGBUILD to python3.7 and rebuild and it should work for you.

JackDinn commented 4 years ago

Thx but i have tried to edit the PKGBUILD before, i failed to figure it then and i cant figure it now either. I gave up letting linux frustrate me to the point of losing my hair ages ago now.

Thx for the help though.

@JackDinn try the autojump-git package

@JackDinn try the autojump-git package

well i was just going to leave it in the IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf until Manjaro gets a python update but the -git version is working just fine , Thx :)

Syphdias commented 4 years ago

@graysky2 Pinning it to a specific python version seems a bit arbitrary. Won't the package break with the next python release even for pure arch users? (No idea if the installed packages will be automatically migrated with the python upgrade) Isn't there a way to use the latest available python version? (Rhetorical question, the question is, if you are open to implementing it :wink:)

PS: This is not the place to discuss this imo since this is purely AUR package related.

JackDinn commented 4 years ago

That did not last long , the autojump-git is now saying the same thing (python>=3.8 (Wanted by: autojump) So Iv just uninstalled. I shall wait until Manjaro updates python.

graysky2 commented 4 years ago

@Syphdias - If you know of a better place to put these let me know. @JackDinn - Just edit the PKGBUILD as I described.

JackDinn commented 4 years ago

@graysky2 yea but as i described i dont know how? Iv seen yay -G which downloads PKGBUILD, i can edit it but dont know what to do with it after that. Iv seen --editmenu option for yay but i cant figure how to use it ? yay -S autojump --editmenu or yay -S --editmenu autojump ? I just want an option/switch i can use to tell yay that i want to edit the PKGBUILD just this once before it installs autojump but i cant figure it.

graysky2 commented 4 years ago

@JackDinn - Remove yay. Learn Arch without the silly helpers. It is not hard and will save you headaches. Browse to the AUR, search for the package, download the package, untar the package, edit the PKGBUILD making the modifications I mentioned. Build with makepkg -srci

JackDinn commented 4 years ago

hmm, Ok im with you, thx. Just curious, what if i did this?

  yay -G <package_name>
  edit the PKGBUILD
  makepkg -srci
graysky2 commented 4 years ago

I assume the -G switch downloads from the AUR? I do not use that software.

JackDinn commented 4 years ago

aye "(Get PKGBUILD from ABS or AUR)"

Remove yay. Learn Arch without the silly helpers. It is not hard and will save you headaches

You sure it wont be the cause of headaches ^^ , linux is like swimming through treacle but i persevere because i hate M$ and windows 10 (especially) so much. I might take a look some time but i am just to busy atm.
