borgbackup @1.2.6 complains about msgpack not being the supported version

[kwolcott]

You do not have a supported version of the msgpack python package installed. Terminating.
This should never happen as specific, supported versions are required by our setup.py.
Do not contact borgbackup support about this.

borgbackup 1.2.6 requires msgpack 1.0.5 or earlier:

​https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/blob/1.2.6/setup.py#L67-L75

borgbackup 1.2.7 requires msgpack 1.0.7 or earlier, so updating the port to this version would solve the problem for now:

​https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/blob/1.2.7/setup.py#L67-L75

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

When updating the port to 1.2.7, please also switch to python 3.12 if possible.

[kwolcott]

sudo port uninstall py310-msgpack sudo port uninstall borgbackup sudo port -v -s install borgbackup

The third step asked if I wanted to install py310-msgpack as that was a dependency.

My borg backup is still failing with the same complaint.

port installed | grep msgpack

msgpack @4_0 (active) msgpack-c @4.0.0_0 msgpack-c @6.0.0_0 (active) msgpack-cpp @4.1.1_0 msgpack-cpp @6.0.0_0 msgpack-cpp @6.1.0_0 (active) py310-msgpack @1.0.7_1 (active)

port installed | grep borgbackup

borgbackup @1.2.6_0 (active)

How do I convince MacPorts to switch to Python 3.12?

borgbackup: Update to 1.2.7 & switch to Python 3.12

See #68998

[judaew (Vadym-Valdis Yudaiev)]

I updated borgbackup to 1.2.7 and switch to Python 3.12. It may take up to a day before you have an update.

Thank you for your efforts.

What can I do to make certain that when I do the self update and upgrade to borgbackup 1.2.7 that it will also pick up Python 2.12, or will that happen in spite of whatever python dependency situation exists on my machine?

Also, what can I do to make certain that borgbackup continues to work in the future when updates and/or upgrades occur?

I just want to make certain that I'm doing what I can do (and should be doing).

Thank you!

I just did a self update and it seemed to work great!

I was able to do a backup.!!

Thank you!
