I ran into some more problems, but I'm now through them and am now 
updated to v34. Thanks again everyone for all the help.

I build my frontend disc image using a system called kiwi-ng and, with 
that, it is difficult to use update repos. Because of the lack of 
updates, I couldn't easily use gcc13, but gcc8 worked. I also had 
problems finding a source for python311-future, but 
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python:/backports/15.5/ 
has it.  I failed to find a source for python311-requests-cache, but so 
far all seems well without it (metadata download still works at least).

Here are my spec file diffs on the tiny off chance they might help 
someone else:
