Problem: package howdy-2.6.1-10.fc41.x86_64 from copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:principis:howdy requires pam_python, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libpython2.7.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by pam_python-1.0.8-4.fc41.x86_64 from copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:principis:howdy
You can try to add to command line:
  --skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages

Hi, going after official README.md

"Note: Fedora 41 removed support for Python2, but at this point in time Howdy still depends on it. If the install fails, you can fix this by installing the beta Repository and removing the release version:

sudo dnf copr remove principis/howdy
sudo dnf copr enable principis/howdy-beta
sudo dnf --refresh install howdy

See the link to the COPR repository for detailed configuration steps."

It should resolve your issue

Fedora 41 issue here as well
Did not have problem to install with howdy-beta, however guide from copr (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/principis/howdy/ is outdated
There is nothing installed on /lib64/security/howdy/dlib-data
I am not the only one, see last comment on copr

edit : to be clearer, "howdy test" works fine, however nothing happens when on lock screen or typing sudo so it's probably a permission issue, I just can't find what the workaround is

howdy should be updated to python3

python2 has not been updated since 2020 and if a very large distro does not support it it means that its too old
