However, nala executable appears in the system, but executing nala install [package] result in an error:

apt upgrade also result in an error:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
nala 0.15.4 requires anyio<4.0.0,>=3.6.1, but you have anyio 4.7.0 which is incompatible.
nala 0.15.4 requires httpx<0.24.0,>=0.23.0, but you have httpx 0.28.1 which is incompatible.
nala 0.15.4 requires rich<13.0.0,>=12.4.4, but you have rich 13.9.4 which is incompatible.
nala 0.15.4 requires typer<0.5.0,>=0.4.1, but you have typer 0.15.1 which is incompatible.

What steps will reproduce the bug?

apt install nala
nala install git
apt upgrade

What is the expected behavior?

Should be installed and work without errors

Could you try to uninstall those conflicting python modules with pip and reinstall nala?

[Nikitf777]

Could you try to uninstall those conflicting python modules with pip and reinstall nala?

Ok, I will, but I highly doubt this will work. It's a completely fresh install of both Android (flashed my ROM yesterday) and Termux. And the same issue was on my previous Android and Termux installation, and also on Waydroid on my x86 laptop.

Could you try to uninstall those conflicting python modules with pip and reinstall nala?

So, I tried this solution. As expected, it didn't help, because those packages are being installed with the nala package, despite the fact they are incompatible. Does anyone else have this issue? Or I'm the only one?

[queso42]

I do have that issue too! But nala still worked fine, upgrade openssl first so pip will work

[licy183]

Try pip install nala to let pip resolve issues about nala's dependency.

Try pip install nala to let pip resolve issues about nala's dependency.

Thanks, it works. I installed nala through pip, then installed package by apt install nala and everything works. So I think we can just use
pip3 install nala
in the postinst instead of
pip3 install anyio httpx jsbeautifier pexpect python-debian rich tomli typer typing-extensions.

@licy183 I just did a clean reinstall of Termux and Nala didn't work out of the box.

Had to do pip install python-debian to fix it.

Still something funny going on with postinst?

ps. the above suggested pip install nala installed some testing library for C lol...
