It seems like python-aiohttp-socks was not built for Python 3.11 which is required by the new Pulp version. So I am not sure if this is some left over or required by something else installed on the system. Can you try to remove python39-aiohttp-socks and if it could simply be removed retry the upgrade, if not report back what depends on the package?

I am in the same boat, but after upgrade:

Hello,

We just created Add aiohttp-socks and pypi-simple to python39 obsoletes by Odilhao · Pull Request #848 · theforeman/pulpcore-packaging · GitHub that should fix the upgrade issue. Upgrading the python version is always complicated, specially when we have a lot of packages as we do for Pulp support.

After merged, it will take probably 2 hours to show up in our repos.

Thanks.

The pipeline just finished, and we got a new version of pulpcore-obsolete published.
