RuntimeWarning: compiletime version 3.8 of module 'msgpack._packer' does not match runtime version 3.6
Metadata
Current evaluation
Duplicity snap's status command against a Dropbox backend prints a Python 3.6/3.8 msgpack compiletime-vs-runtime RuntimeWarning, apparently from staging mixed python versions. Reporter worked around it recipe-side; never triaged by maintainers.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no assignee and no maintainer response — both comments are self-comments from the reporter, including his 2022-02-20 note that he "fixed this by building on core20 and specifying '; python_version == '3.8'" as a recipe-side workaround. No snapcraft.yaml, build log, or evidence that the python plugin itself staged the conflicting python3.6/3.7/3.8 packages is provided, so it is undecided whether this is a snapcraft defect or a duplicity packaging mistake; the linked sibling bug #1886717 (same author) was self-closed as no longer reproducible, so no fix commit can be cited.

Explicitly linked by the author as possibly related ('This may be related to ...'); same reporter, same class of problem where snapcraft/base dist-packages supplies a different package version than requested — that bug was self-closed in Feb 2022 as no longer reproducible, so it provides no resolution for this one.
