ImportError with ykman 5.0.0

[AidanGG]

• YubiKey Manager version: 5.0.0
• How was it installed?: pacman, Arch Linux [community] repo
• Operating system and version: Arch Linux
• YubiKey model and version: YubiKey 5 NFC (5.2.7)
• Bug description summary: does not detect YubiKey under ykman 5.0.0

Steps to reproduce

Install ykman 5.0.0, then run ykman-gui --log-level DEBUG.
Receive error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'connect_to_device' from 'ykman' (/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ykman/__init__.py)

The GUI does appear, but no YubiKeys are detected.

Expected result

The YubiKeys are detected, and the manager functions as normal.

Additional Info

Works with ykman 4.0.9, the version prior to the update to 5.0.0 on Arch Linux.

[dainnilsson]

The ykman CLI project uses semantic versioning, and the major number increase from 4 to 5 signals backwards incompatible changes. yubikey-manager-qt requires ykman 4.x. and any packaging of the yubikey-manager-qt needs to ensure this.

Any idea when this will be upgraded for ykman 5. This will be another blocker for Fedora.

Hi, I can confirm that on Arch the Qt apps are broken.

My relevant logs are:

This breaks yubikey-manager as well. It seems like the core problem is that the correct Python module can not be imported: Unhandled PyOtherSide error: Cannot import module: yubikey
My relevant package versions are:

yubico-c 1.13-6
yubico-c-client 2.15-5
yubico-pam 2.27-2
yubikey-full-disk-encryption r150.2c5fdf3-1
yubikey-manager 5.0.0-1
yubikey-manager-qt 1.2.4-1
yubikey-personalization 1.20.0-3
yubikey-personalization-gui 3.1.25-2
python 3.10.8-2

Seems to be the same thing as #320 .

[AidanGG]

#320 occurs from misconfiguration of the Python environment, this issue occurs because of the incompatibility with the newly released ykman 5.

[dainnilsson]

Any idea when this will be upgraded for ykman 5. This will be another blocker for Fedora.

Unfortunately I don't have a date for that, nothing scheduled right now. If I were to make a guess I'd say sometime in Q1 of next year, but don't hold me to that!

[vbrandl]

While it doesn't solve the actual problem, creating a python virtual environment, installing yubikey-manager 4 and starting ykman-gui inside that environment, works for now:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install yubikey-manager==4.0.9

For now I use the following script inside the venv to start ykman-gui:

#!/usr/bin/bash

source .venv/bin/activate
ykman-gui
deactivate

[vbrandl]

Looking at https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commits/packages/yubikey-manager/trunk, Arch Linux downgraded the yubikey-manager package back to 4.0.9. This should fix the problem for Arch based distros for now.

[fdennis]

Hello,
1.2.5 has just been released and is compatible with ykman 5.0.1.

[IPlayZed]

This issue should be closed as far as I understand.

[mordax7]

I still have the issues.
