Unless the new version behaves very differently I'm doubtful it'll help. At the moment it looks like lxqt requires both python37 and python38. The needs seem to arise at different stages of the build, so perhaps they can be invoked, used and removed sequentially, but at this point deleting python37 causes enough collateral damage to make further progress impossible, or at least non-obvious. If the conflict is really limited to merely naming two versions of /usr/local/bin/easy_install fixing the naming convention seems to be the obvious answer. I remain baffled why something called "easy_install" remains essential after installatiion. Unless of course it's not really an installer. Even so, a more sensible naming scheme strikes me as helpful. It isn't apparent to me that something like poudriere can solve this sort of problem either. If poudriere attempts to build lxqt in a single jail it looks like the conflict will emerge within the jail. It'd have to split the build between two or more jails and then merge the (compatible) executables into a third jail for completion, AIUI. At this point I'm stuck. Thanks for reading and your offer of help! bob prohaska
