Cannot Upgrade with pacman - kdelibs: requires phonon [RESOLVED]

ejmarkow · 2010-02-09 16:36:24

I cannot upgrade with pacman because "kdelibs: requires phonon", however, I already have 'phonon-xine' installed. Shouldn't phonon-xine satisfy the dependency requirement for kdelibs?

I had the same issue, running the commands in the thread you linked to did not solve it Pierre. I am guessing it is a mirror sync issue.

same thing here! Tried various mirrors, kde-pim-akonadi and phonon dependencies are there but not take into account

trishtren18 · 2010-02-09 23:38:11

i also have this issue as well and it says phonon conflicts with qt.

@jowiling if its a mirror sync issue can you just change mirrors?

It worked for me after a while, check the mirror status and use one that's recently updated (https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus)

Also note you do have to do what is suggested in Pierre's link, pacman -Sy --asdeps qt, then pacman -Su.

ejmarkow · 2010-02-09 23:49:46

@Pierre - Thanks, worked liked a charm. Now the issue is, after running KDE 4.4, the Dolphin file manager doesn't run or open up at all. I removed all config files and ran KDE again to start fresh, and Dolphin still doesn't work.

Hmm I'm still having this issue on my laptop. I tried the ftp.archlinux.org mirror and locke.suu.edu which was synced on the 10th according to mirror status page. This is what happens

Do you have ftp.archlinux.org first for when you do the sync?

partha · 2010-02-10 15:58:55

I get almost the same error as jowilkin. I am using ftp.archlinux.org.

lotu · 2010-02-10 19:14:26

Partha I had the same problem. I fixed it by uninstalling qtscriptgenerator and amarok. Then doing the steps above.

pacman -R amarok 
pacman -R qtscriptgenerator
pacman -Sy --asdeps qt

I'm now waiting for the last command to finish.

As I said, I've tried a couple different mirrors including ftp.archlinux.org, still have the same problem.

Unfortunately I don't have either of the packages lotu mentioned installed, the problem must be coming from somewhere else.

edit: Well I solved this with a little brute force: pacman -Rd qt; pacman -Sy --asdeps qt; pacman -S phonon.

This fixed it for me. Thanks to all for help.

You actually don't have to uninstall anything. Running:

pacman -Sy --asdeps qt qtscriptgenerator

should solve your problem

VincentV · 2010-02-11 16:12:49

Hey thanks a lot, I just hit this kdelibs problem and the stuff posted by Pierre & the others just wasn't working for me, but the command you posted seems to have done the trick. Thanks a lot! Mostly I just use Arch now & take it for granted, it's very rare I have any sort of problem on any of my machines so I'll admit the --asdeps option kinda threw me.

PhotonX · 2010-02-12 19:02:45

Thanks, the last hint solved it for me, too.

kierank01 · 2010-02-13 12:29:35

I was getting the 2 upgrade issues:
:: kdelibs: requires phonon
:: kde-meta-kdepim: requires kdepim-akonadiconsole

I ran the command as follows:
pacman -Sy --asdeps qt

this has resolved the kdelibs issue,

but I am still getting the kde-meta-kdepim error

I had to restart my pc, and now I cannnot login into kde. I presume that this is because the full upgrade has not been completed

what command do I need to run to get kde-meta-kdepim to upgrade?

Pierre · 2010-02-13 14:48:54

pacman -S --asdeps kdepim-runtime

bpisciot · 2010-02-13 14:52:18

See here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=90792 for more detail on solving the KDE-PIM problem.

Hi all, I tried solutions porposed but it did not work at all, so I tried :

$sudo pacman -S phonon --asdeps qt

It upgrade qt and install phonon after that :

$sudo pacman -Syu

and it worked.

I have to congrat and thanks to this community, I am really grateful. It is really good to see people helping people without any interest.

I hope this help somebody.
