Description
Cinnamon requires python-pillow which is found in base/7/x86_64 repo.
Error: Package: cinnamon-3.6.7-5.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: python-pillow(x86-64) Available: python-pillow-2.0.0-20.gitd1c6db8.el7_7.x86_64 (base) python-pillow(x86-64) = 2.0.0-20.gitd1c6db8.el7_7
winswitch repo includes python2-pillow which is required by python2-xpra.
Error: Package: python2-xpra-3.0.10-11.r26630xpra1.el7_8.x86_64 (winswitch) Requires: python2-pillow
I tried installing python-pillow from CentOS repos and then excluding python2-pillow from installing in /etc/yum.conf but it didn't work.
Nor did setting a yum versionlock on python-pillow. It got updated regardless of the versionlock.

The package does provide python-pillow
:
# rpm -q --provides dists/CentOS/7.8/x86_64/python2-pillow-6.2.0-1.el7_8.x86_64.rpm python-pillow = 6.2.0-1.el7_8 python-imaging = 6.2.0-1.el7_8 python2-imaging = 6.2.0-1.el7_8 python2-pillow = 6.2.0-1.el7_8 python2-pillow(x86-64) = 6.2.0-1.el7_8
So I am not sure why yum
is getting confused here.
Please post the full output when you try to install cinnamon
from EPEL, without pinning or excluding any packages.

So yum
does see that python2-pillow
should do the job and is already installed? So why fail?

Why does this error message say
Error: Package: python2-xpra-3.0.10-11.r26630xpra1.el7_8.x86_64 (winswitch) Requires: python2-pillow
not
Requires: python-pillow
comment:7 Changed 10 months ago by
Why does this error message say
Because the xpra rpm uses the new python2
package names.
comment:8 Changed 10 months ago by
If I first install the package group Cinnamon, the installation works fine.
If I then try to install xpra, I get this error message:

r26868 should fix this: we switch back to the python-pillow
package name, but only in the 3.0 branch and only on RHEL / CentOS 7. (newer distros like CentOS 8 would have problems with the unversioned python2 package names)
Please try the xpra 3.0.11 / python-pillow 6.2.2 packages from the beta channel: https://xpra.org/beta/CentOS, and close this ticket if that works for you.
Note: there may still be conflicts when updating if you already have python2-pillow
installed, but a clean installation should work. (workaround: remove then re-install)
comment:10 Changed 10 months ago by
That seems to have fixed it. I now see in dependency list for "yum groupinstall Cinnamon":
python-pillow x86_64 6.2.2-1.el7_8 winswitch-beta 979 k
I ran this after installing xpra.
I had this package installed before running "yum groupinstall Cinnamon":
Name : python2-pillow Arch : x86_64 Version : 6.2.0 Release : 1.el7_8 Size : 3.7 M Repo : installed From repo : winswitch

I was wrong. It downloaded all needed packages for Cinnamon but then when starting to install them I got the errors in the attachment.

I need to create the Docker image again to resolve it according to your instructions.
comment:13 Changed 10 months ago by
I'm not 100% sure but looks like there is a need for the winswitch repo to be enabled, not just having winswitch-beta repo enabled. I disabled the winswitch repo and the installation from winswitch-beta wants packages from winswitch repo.

Yes, as per wiki/Download: the beta repositories are supplemental ones so you must also configure the stable repository to use them.

I got the errors in the attachment.
Try:
yum remove python2-pillow
Before you do anything.
comment:16 Changed 10 months ago by
If I don't run this command in Dockerfile, python2-pillow will be installed:

this ticket has been moved to: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/2820
This means after setting the exclude=python2-pillow* in /etc/yum.conf, I got the error:
