Python3-urwid preventing install?
MattGeale opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi All,
Hoping someone could give me a bit of a hand with this error.
I'm trying to initialise the PiJuice hat on a ras pi zero 2w and keep getting an error surrounding urwid saying it can't be found doing both sudo apt-get install pijuice-base (preference) or sudo apt-get install pijuice-gui.
I've googled python3-urwid and whenever I try and install it using the commands I've found, i.e. sudo apt-get install python-urwid, it says the package cannot be found...
Does anyone have any ideas what I'm missing or whether there are commands I'm meant to do pre running the install pijuice-base command?
Thanks in advance :)
Firstsudo apt-get install python-urwid installs the python2 version of the package.
Raspberry Pi OS now only provides python3 not python2.
If you look at the description of the python3-urwid package:
tvo@rpi32-deb11:~ $ apt show python3-urwid
Package: python3-urwid
Version: 2.1.2-1
Priority: optional
Section: python
Source: urwid
Maintainer: Debian Python Team <team+python@tracker.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 967 kB
Provides: python3.9-urwid
Depends: python3 (<< 3.10), python3 (>= 3.9~), python3:any, libc6 (>= 2.4)

It seems the pyrhon3-urwid package requires only python 3.9.x
If you are using python 3.10 the python3-urwid package will not install.
Also the error message says you have held broken packages.
You can list held packages with apt-mark --showhold
I can't even get it to find python3-urwid...
Tried as you suggested the apt-mark, and just returned this:
Are you by chance running in a python virtual environment?
Also check if there are any files in /etc/apt.prferences.d
And just to be sure run sudo apt update and then apt show pthon3-urwid again.
Anyway, something is fishy with your apt setup.
weird, just ran an update then and now seems to be working as intended.
Must've just had packages so out to date that just spamming apt get update rectified
Thanks haha
