Hi,
in the Archlinux32 repos, a lot of packages that install Python
modules need rebuilding. It would be nice, if upgrading Python
and such packages could somehow be coordinated, such that a new
release of the Python interpreter and these packages are only
pushed after all of them have been rebuilt. I don't know how
Archlinux handles this, but I never noticed such problem there.
A cursory look through the logs seems to show that many of the
packages I'm complaining about failed building, because a
dependency wasn't built/updated first. For instance Borg failed
because of python-jaraco.functools, which failed because the
dependency python-setuptools is missing, which should have been
pulled in by python-setuptools-scm.
Here is part of the build log for python-jaraco.functools:

As you can see, python-setuptools-scm gets installed without its
dependency python-setuptools. Could someone please have a look at
this?
