Support

Hello o everyone,

i encounter a problem using pacman-mirrors. Everytime i use the command i get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name 'Mapping' from 'collections' (/usr/lib/python3.10/collections/__init__.py)

Could thus also be the reasn why i cant upgrade the AUR packages? Sorry for the question, still new :slight_smile:

Looks like python is not installed on your system?

in fact it is installed:

python --version                                                                                                                                                                
Python 3.10.4

Reinstall it?

pamac reinstall python

unfortunately, the same problem after reinstall.

Are you using some virtual environment tool or pyenv or something similar? That is not a system folder, it is a local folder of your root user.

I think I know what it is. You have installed requests Python module with pip install --user as root. Probably it is some old version.

I would say that probably it is safe to delete the .local folder of your root user, but I don’t know what else can be in there. You’ll have to check first.

hey, thanks for your answer. i deleted the folder, but i still get the same error

pacman-mirrors is not at fault here - your system is in a bad shape.

Blame it on your sys-admin.

Is it really the same? If you deleted the folder it is not possible, because the error you posted comes from that folder
