Hi @zhoupeng6d - I have try to reproduce this on Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 3.8 and I'm unable to. I can install conan==1.52 with pip and conan --version reports the correct version without issues.

Could you try to isolate this to a new virtual environment to discard any issues with your python environment in .local? You may need to install the python3-venv Ubuntu package.

python3 -m venv conan-venv
source conan-venv/bin/activate
pip install conan==1.52
conan --version

[jcar87]

Hi @Zvicii - thank you for reporting this issue. There was an issue with the wayland recipe in conan-center-index where a private Conan API was used, and it changed internally across Conan versions. We are tracking this here https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/issues/12722 as an issue related to the recipe - which needs to be fixed.

[zhoupeng6d]

Hi @jcar87 Using venv looks OK.

Conan version 1.52.0

[memsharded]

@zhoupeng6d then it could be that your Conan installation is corrupted. I would try to remove and re-install Conan, because a 1.52 clean installation seems to be ok.

[tuxflo]

I'm facing the same problem (Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL). Already tried a pip3 uninstall conan and then a reinstall using pip3 install --upgrade conan==1.52.0 but this didn't help. Kind of sad, that the latest releases cause so much trouble (had to fight with the is_apple_os thing just last week).

Hi @tuxflo - is this the same error as reported in this issue, with ImportError: cannot import name when running conan --version? If this is the case I can try and provide further assistance.

Some of the other issues, for example with is_apple_us, had to do with a small number of recipes in Conan Center using private/undocumented APIs temporarily (these may change across releases). We fixed the recipes in Conan Center as soon as we noticed and using the most recent revisions should work fine. Many apologies for this.

[tuxflo]

Yes it's exactly the same issue using 1.52.0 failed with the exact same error message as in the first post. Downgrading to conan version < 1.52.0 was problematic because the latest recipe for libcurl (libcurl/7.77.0) already uses the is_apple_os import which isn't working with 1.51.3. Currently I "solved" this by adding the revision number to the conanfile of the dependency lib and sticking to version 1.51.3 but it's still more a workaround then a solution. BTW: installing in a new pyenv works as mentioned above, but I'd like to use conan on the system level rather that dealing with virtual environments.

[memsharded]

Just in case, can you confirm that the exact same issue is from wayland recipe and error message is ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'conan.tools.gnu.pkgconfigdeps.pc_files_creator'. Maybe it is from another (internal) recipe and not wayland? Because I cannot longer find pc_files_creator in whole conan-center-index repo, this could be some cached recipe somewhere, not a Conan issue, but a recipe issue that hasn't upgraded or is cached?

I also cannot use conan 1.51.3 as it doesn't support latest packages. So I'm stuck =(

[memsharded]

Hi @SergeyKrivohatskiy

It seems that some updates to 1.52 are not completely cleaning the previous stuff and something breaks. Can you please try installing a fresh Conan in a clean Python virtualenv (or maybe trying pipx), and see if the problem still reproduces?

[SergeyKrivohatskiy]

@memsharded Thanks that helped me to solve the issue. The problem was in --ignore-installed flag I used to reinstall conan.

So to reproduce:

pip install conan==1.51.0 # or any other earlier version
pip install conan==1.52.0 --ignore-installed
conan --version # this crashes

without --ignore-installed flag everything works.

Hope this will help someone else =)

[memsharded]

Perfect, thanks for the feedback @SergeyKrivohatskiy !!

That is a good hint, yes, the key seems to be in not complete/clean installations, first thing to try is a full clean one. Cheers!

[jbrownsw]

I just ran into this as well. I was able to resolve it by uninstalling multiple times. Each subsequent uninstall removed an older previously installed version of conan then when I was all done I just installed and it worked. In my case I was trying to just get back to the latest of 1.56.0 and that wasn't working, but I assume the same trick will work if you wanted to go to 1.52.0 or any other version.

[memsharded]

Hi @jbrownsw

Are you using python virtualenvs to manage different versions of Conan? It might be a good practice, those virtualenvs you can create new ones for new versions, try them side-by-side with the previous version, then destroy the past virtualenvs when you don't need those versions anymore.

[Korky]

I was getting same issue fresh installing conan 1.52 fixed it, when conan was installed from ue4cli install it installed conan 2.0

[memsharded]

Yes, Conan 2.0 was officially released today. If that ue4cli is incompatible with 2.0, it should be pinning a conan<2.0 until it is made compatible, I suggest posting an issue in their tracker if possible (a link here to that project would also be interesting)

Hi @Pat-re

Thanks for your report. It seems that you are reporting a different issue. The output you are showing is output from Conan 2.0, not from Conan 1.52

You should be checking conan --version before calling Conan. If it is not 1.52, then there is something wrong in your system, maybe you have a system wide installation of 2.0 or something like that.

Side note: It is expected that Conan 2.0 might be failing for some packages in ConanCenter that hasn't been upgraded to Conan 2.0 yet. The upgrade efforts can be tracked in: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/discussions/16196

[Pat-re]

Hi Memsharded; Right now Conan2 is the default version when using pip3 t install. Maybe that package should be held back until it is ready for primetime?

[memsharded]

Conan 2.0 is ready for prime time. Is a much better version than 1.X and it has been iterated in 6 alphas, 10 beta releases during more than 1 year and a half. Of course it will have some issues, as expected from a major release like this one, but those are being fixed quickly, we already did 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 fixing many of those things.

A different thing is that not all recipes in ConanCenter are ready from prime time, but around the 80% of most downloaded ones was the threshold that was defined (which accounts for around 120 recipes) for the 2.0 release. ConanCenter contains aprox 1500 recipes and it will take too much time to upgrade all of them to 2.0. But that is a different thing. Conan is massively used in the enterprise without depending on ConanCenter recipes, actually our estimation is that around 70-80% of users do not depend on ConanCenter binaries.

Hi @karambaq

If you could please detail a bit more about your environment, as the error you are seeing is not the same as reported there. So please, if you could include:

• The OS and distro, version you are running
• The Python base distribution you are running
• The steps to reproduce the failure, if it is using venv, the instructions to create the venv, then the instructions to install Conan

Many thanks.
