In timemachine i tried multiple versions until 2020 and all give still same
error
Problem 1/1
nothing provides python2 needed by virt-manager-1.5.1-2
Solution 1/1 (default)
  - do not ask to install virt-manager-1.5.1-2

Maybe they download from internet packages and they are removed?
For version 2.900 it was even not downloading list of apps.

But all versions show same virt-manager versions
1.4.2-1
1.5.1-1
1.5.1-2

What would be python2 package? maybe i need to select myself and it doenst
select dependencies automatically and i cant find correct name?
