hello members (and happy new year), my system is up to date and works with python 3.7. for a specific need, I want to install python 3.5 but cannot go down because its installation breaks an dependency: :: installing python (3.5.2-1) breaks dependency 'python>=3.7' required by libreoffice-still. what do you think is the easiest way to achieve my goals ? regards, lacsaP.

Install python35 from aur if you need it system wide or use pyenv if not.

python35 is an AUR package that is *not* the "python" package pinned at version 3.5 You are not permitted to change the version of the "python" package, as it will break all python-related software in the entire distribution, of which there is a tremendous amount. If you do it, you are no longer running Arch Linux. There is absolutely no issue with installing the python35 package next to the python package, it will work flawlessly. :) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

my package comes from https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python/ and it's not an AUR package. if I understood correctly, I wouldn't have this dependency problem if I install the AUR python35 package: is that correct?

Hi. your specific need could be implemented in a containner? Maybe Docker could help. On 1/7/19 11:34 AM, Pascal via arch-general wrote:
