2.8.10+xpu wheel invalid #850
Description
Describe the bug
Installing via pip results in an error citing the wheel is invalid.
"ERROR: Wheel 'intel-extension-for-pytorch' located at /tmp/pip-unpack-n6ux5tob/intel_extension_for_pytorch-2.8.10+xpu-cp311-cp311-linux_x86_64.whl is invalid"
I have purged the pip cache and tried multiple times to eliminate the likelihood that the download was corrupted and I did attempt the pip install from https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us
It appears to complete the download but directly afterward, I receive the above error.
This is being installed on Arch Linux into a python 3.11 venv.
SIDENOTE: While trying to start ComfyUI afterward, it produces an error stating that LIBUR_LOADER_0.11 is not found when trying to import torch (torch._C).
Versions
ERROR! Intel® Extension for PyTorch* needs to work with PyTorch 2.7.*, but PyTorch 2.8.0+xpu is found. Please switch to the matching version and run again.
UPDATE
After further investigation, it seems that the intel-oneapi-basekit package in the Arch Linux repositories provide version 10 of libur_loader.so with the compiler. We have the intel-oneapi-base-toolkit package available in the "Extra-Testing" repository, but that package provides 2025.2 which provides libur_loader.so.0.12 (version 12).
There is no package (that I can find) currently available in Arch Linux that will provide libur_loader.so.0.11 which is required by torch==2.8.0+xpu.
Additionally, I cannot download the 2025.1.3 Intel-OneAPI-Base package from Intel.com. When I choose the 2025.1.3 version from the dropdown menu, the site seems to disregard the choice and downloads the offline installer for 2025.2 anyway.
Solution1: Change the requirement for libur_loader.so to either versions 10 or 12...or even better, just make it >= 10, if possible.
Solution2: Make the 2025.1.3 package available for download.
