Conflicts between Daily-Reddit-Wallpaper and update-checker

[NeolithEra]

Hi, users are unable to run Daily-Reddit-Wallpaper due to dependency conflict with update-checker package.
As shown in the following full dependency graph of Daily-Reddit-Wallpaper, it directly requires update-checker==0.11，while praw==5.4.0 requires update-checker>=0.16.

According to pip’s “first found wins” installation strategy, update-checker==0.11 is the actually installed version.
However, update-checker==0.11 does not satisfy update-checker>=0.16.

Solution

1. Fix your direct dependency to be update-checker>=0.16 .
   I have checked this revision will not affect your downstream projects now.
2. Remove your direct dependency update-checker, and use update-checker transitively introduced by praw.

Which solution do you prefer, 1 or 2?
@ssimunic Please let me know your choice. I can submit a PR to solve this issue.

Any update on this?

I take it this repository is abandoned, will look for a fork or alternate option.
