Problem: nothing provides 'python3-material-color-utilities-python' needed by the to be installed kde-material-you-colors-1.5.1-lp154.34.1.noarch

[guilloud]

Hello,

I'm new to OpenSUSE, and not really good at understanding how everything works. I tried installing according to the Readme file. The widget was easy to install, and then I tried to install the Backend but the zypper install kde-material-you-colors hasn't worked. This is what I get:

zypper install kde-material-you-colors
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: nothing provides 'python3-material-color-utilities-python' needed by the to be installed kde-material-you-colors-1.5.1-lp154.34.1.noarch
 Solution 1: do not install kde-material-you-colors-1.5.1-lp154.34.1.noarch
 Solution 2: break kde-material-you-colors-1.5.1-lp154.34.1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c/d/?] (c): ?

I'm running this on my computer, and followed the instructions for the openSUSE 15.4

VERSION="15.5"
ID="opensuse-leap"
ID_LIKE="suse opensuse"
VERSION_ID="15.5"

Many thanks if someone can help me.

Hi,

It looks like python3-material-color-utilities-python package is not built for your distro in that repo, which is voluntarily maintained by https://github.com/marknefedov, maybe they have some insight of why is it like that?

Also noticed they haven't updated the package to the latest version yet so maybe we should ask here if they still want to continue doing so, it shouldn't be much of a problem now that the project is a python package but is up to them :)

For now, you may want to install the package using pip/pipx

OR manually in a virtual python environment like this:

Please change /tmp/testenv to the path you want to install the virtual environment, /tmp content is deleted on reboot

$ mkdir /tmp/testenv && cd /tmp/testenv

# Create a python virtual environment
$ python -m venv /tmp/testenv

# Activate the environment for this shell
$ source /tmp/testenv/bin/activate

# install the package inside the environment
# you may also install other optional python modules in this step, like pywal
$ pip install kde-material-you-colors

# deactivate the python environment
$ deactivate

# Copy the desktop entries, and create a symbolic link to ~/.local/bin 
/tmp/testenv/bin/kde-material-you-colors -cl

# Now you can run outside the virtual environment and even enable autostart

kde-material-you-colors -a

Thanks for letting us know.

I have contacted the maintainer in the relevant discussion about this issue and whether or not they still want to maintain the packages, so we'll see.

The packages have been removed from the README for some time now. If someone revives them let me know and I'll add them.
