Hello everybody,
I’m quite new with IpFire, and I’m having fun with it !
I have a little problem with borgbackup add-on. During installation everything was fine, but when I try to launch it, I have this message :
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The ‘msgpack-python!=0.5.0,!=0.5.1,!=0.5.2,!=0.5.3,!=0.5.4,!=0.5.5,<=0.5.6,>=0.4.6’ distribution was not found and is required by borgbackup.
I’ve check and msgpack-python dependency has been installed during borgbackup installation.
Do you you know what is happening ?
Thanks a lot!
Hi mtb,
and welcome here. Tested the borgbackup install here and it works. Have deleted then mspack via
pakfire remove python3-msgpack
and get the same message then you
$ borg -h

reinstall it then via
pakfire install python3-msgpack
and checked borg again,
$ borg -h

did you tried to uninstall ‘python3-msgpack’ and reinstall it again ?
As an idea.
Best,
Erik
Thanks for your help !
I’ve already tried and it didn’t change anything.
I’m using ipfire version 142, and my default python interpreter is python 3.8 
What is yours ?
There is my error message :
$ borg -h

You´re right. Did my first test with Core 136 where it works. Did now the same with Core 142 and get the same problem. Am trying currently a new build, have in mind that the Core system switched from Python2 to 3 but am currently not 100% sure, will have a deeper look into it. If i have something new will write it here.
Best,
Erik
OK, it seems that the PAK_VER number of the LFS should have been increased with the Core 141 --> https://blog.ipfire.org/post/ipfire-2-25-core-update-141-release since the Core system has become some changes according Python3.
Did that now but updated also Borgbackup to version 1.1.11 and have send a patch --> https://patchwork.ipfire.org/patch/2929/ but added this also to Bugzilla --> https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12356 .
Not sure if this will be part of Core 143 since it is meanwhile in testing. Have the package here, if you want to test it, i can provide it too.
Best,
Erik
Thank you very much for your work!
I will wait this new version will be added in stable core.
Have a nice day.
Your welcome.
Have also some nice Easter days.
Best,
Erik
