Description of problem: On a newly installed and fully upgraded Fedora 31 workstation, I installed the avogadro package. That went ok, without errors. But now, dnf finds unresolvable dependency issues when updating. The problem might be in the sip packages that were installed as a dependency. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): avogadro-1.2.0-26.fc31.x86_64 avogadro-libs-1.2.0-26.fc31.x86_64 sip-4.19.18-6.fc31.x86_64 python2-sip-4.19.18-6.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install avogadro 2. dnf upgrade Actual results: # dnf upgrade Last metadata expiration check: 2:13:20 ago on Wed 11 Dec 2019 07:36:55 CET. Dependencies resolved. Problem: package avogadro-libs-1.2.0-26.fc31.x86_64 requires sip-api(12) >= 12.6, but none of the providers can be installed - package sip-4.19.19-1.fc31.x86_64 obsoletes python2-sip < 4.19.19-1.fc31 provided by python2-sip-4.19.18-6.fc31.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package python2-sip-4.19.18-6.fc31.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package avogadro-libs-1.2.0-26.fc31.x86_64 Nothing to do. Complete! Expected results: no errors, and the ability to upgrade the packages to their latest versions Additional info: Might this be because python2-sip is the dependency that was installed, and not python3-sip?

I tried installing avogadro after uninstalling the old version: $ sudo dnf install --enablerepo=updates-testing avogadro --refresh I got this error, so still it only offers to install the old version and downgrade other packages: Problem: package avogadro-1.2.0-28.fc31.x86_64 requires avogadro-libs(x86-64) = 1.2.0-28.fc31, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best candidate for the job - nothing provides sip-api(12) >= 12.7 needed by avogadro-libs-1.2.0-28.fc31.x86_64
I don't think removing the sip-api requirement makes sense; it's there for a reason, and the macro exists: $ rpm -q python2-sip python2-sip-4.19.18-6.fc31.x86_64 $ rpm -q --provides python2-sip python2-sip = 4.19.18-6.fc31 python2-sip(x86-64) = 4.19.18-6.fc31 python2-sip-api(12) = 12.6 python2-sip-api(12)(x86-64) = 12.6 python2.7dist(sip) = 4.19.18 python2dist(sip) = 4.19.18 sip-api(12) = 12.6 sip-api(12)(x86-64) = 12.6 The real problem appears to be that the version of sip in the buildroot is newer than in F31 proper, as can be seen from the avogadro build log: python2-sip-devel x86_64 4.19.19-1.fc31 build 64 k If there are changes in the SIP api, it's likely that avogadro won't work with the current version.

The assertion in comment #8 is invalid The *real* issue is documented in bug #1753069 , where sip no longer provides non-namespaced modules. I suspect that simply removing the dependency is probably not correct either, but you can test to see if loading python-related stuff in avogadro works without it.
Fwiw, python(2) support was essentially removed with commit: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/avogadro/c/c5c17c00523ed359e54ff99992d02f3c84e2735f So there's no point in keeping BuildRequires: python2-sip-devel in avogadro.spec at this point either
