I attempted to remove all packages related to Python 2.7 from my cygwin installation.
I am unable to remove four packages. python2 python27 python27-pip python27-setuptools There are over 500 packages that require python2 and over 700 packages which depend2 on python2. There are also around 90 packages that refer to both python2 and python3 packages. I have many of these packages installed. I suspect that at least some of these actually require either python2 or python3, but do not require both. To assist in supporting this kind of requirement, is there a way to create a package whose requirements are resolved by either of several other packages? For instance, could we have a package e.g. python-alternatives, that when required is satisfied by either python2 or python3. This mechanism might be useful for dealing with any set of packages that work with the alternatives system.
