[SOLVED] Cannot upgrade klibc-*: requires klibc-i5oq3Jxz3fJL...

XtrmGmr99 · 2009-05-09 09:14:28

Hello. I'm getting errors while trying to do a system upgrade. I'm running Arch64:

# pacman -Syu

:: klibc-udev: requires klibc-i5oq3Jxz3fJL_nvxTyXXO41WmGk

I started getting these errors yesterday. I figured that I screwed something up and so I re-installed Arch (was wanting to start from scratch anyway, so no big deal there). I used the FTP ISO if it makes any difference.

Here are my repositories:

Server = http://mirror.umoss.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

Server = http://schlunix.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.archlinux.com.ve/$repo/os/x86_64

Here are the packages that I've installed since initial installation:

[2009-05-08 00:08] installed v86d (0.1.9-2)
[2009-05-08 00:13] upgraded v86d (0.1.9-2 -> 0.1.9-2)
[2009-05-08 00:19] installed libdaemon (0.13-1)
[2009-05-08 00:19] installed ifplugd (0.28-4)

[2009-05-08 00:31] installed alsa-utils (1.0.19-1)

Please note that the v86d package also seems to be affected by this, since it doesn't work even though I've properly configured it and doing pacman -S klibc outputs nearly the same thing as above, but with v86d at the bottom:

# pacman -S klibc
warning: klibc-1.5.15-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

:: klibc-udev: requires klibc-i5oq3Jxz3fJL_nvxTyXXO41WmGk
:: v86d: requires klibc-i5oq3Jxz3fJL_nvxTyXXO41WmGk

I hope that's enough information. 0_o I can't seem to find a whole lot on this problem.

Thanks!

EDIT:
I've also searched all the packaged on my machine with pacman -Qi for those that mention klibc-i5oq3Jxz3fJL_nvxTyXXO41WmGk. Here's what I got:

That confirms that the packages affected are the klibc's and v86d. What's going on here?

EDIT2:
Okay, so I removed the v86d package with pacman -Rs v86d, performed a system upgrade (it upgraded a few file successfully), then tried to install v86d again. No-go, it comes up with the same error. Here's the complete output of the steps I took:

EDIT3: SOLVED! [for now ]
I went ahead and manually installed those four packages (klibc-extras, klibc-kbd, klibc-module-init-tools, klibc-udev) at the same time, and it worked! Then I went ahead and re-installed v86d, and it installed fine (still doesn't work though, but I'll open a new thread about that in a minute). Here's the complete output of what I did:

It would be nice to know why this was happening, so comments are still welcome on this matter.

EDIT4:
Ran into problems again. Please see this thread for details as it relates to what I did here.

EDIT5:
Nevermind, I fixed it. Click above link for details -- it was simple...

You didn't happen to build the package with yaourt did you?

I ran into an almost identical problem. and the last update to klibc was performed by compiling it with yaourt. I fixed it with
pacman -S `pacman -Qq | grep klibc` which resynced the packages with the repo versions and my update completed succesfully.

I can't wrap my head around how something so similar happened to the two of us, yet under different circumstances... I'm going to attempt to recreate the problem.

XtrmGmr99 · 2009-05-15 05:37:00

Nope. I don't build packages unless I have to (AUR) -- I use the ones in the repos.

But there is something definitely wrong if we're having the same problem under completely different circumstances. Maybe you can file a bug report. I would, but I wouldn't know where to go or what to do. <_<

Snowman · 2009-05-15 06:58:31

it looks like you mirror weren't up-to date. The klibc in the repo is at version 1.5.15-2 (not 1.5.15-1).

XtrmGmr99 · 2009-05-15 07:16:15

That doesn't make sense, since I tried using the official Arch mirror, along with a few other random mirrors...

I'm sorry to say, I don't think so, or I just don't know how. I've been using yaourt to do system updates for six months now. the only packages I don't compile with yaourt are firefox and xulrunner. And it was my impression yaourt pulled the package build from abs. My mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrolist is the archlinux.org one.

My output from my failed -Syu update was as follows.

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: klibc-extras: requires klibc-4_F00PT-JGwQxhemX9BVmkCpL-U
:: klibc-kbd: requires klibc-4_F00PT-JGwQxhemX9BVmkCpL-U
:: klibc-module-init-tools: requires klibc-4_F00PT-JGwQxhemX9BVmkCpL-U
:: klibc-udev: requires klibc-4_F00PT-JGwQxhemX9BVmkCpL-U

Thus far i've been unable to recreate the problem.... I find it odd that within a week of each other, two people have the same problem

if I can recreate it, i'll see about getting more details.

XtrmGmr99 · 2009-05-16 00:52:53

Have you fixed it? If not, the way to fix it is to install all four of them at the same time with pacman -S klibc-extras klibc-kbd etc
