[multilib] upgrade error message [solved]

goplexian · 2010-08-28 22:52:32

I've had skype, flash, and wine installed for a while now, and after todays announcement about [multilib] I updated my pacman.conf file
and then did pacman -Syy && pacman -Syu and I got an error message, here is the output:

~~~

Everything still seems to work.

I just wanted to bring this error the the communities attention.

Did you try googling or looking at the rest of the multilib threads? Or perhaps visiting the lib32-libstdc++5 AUR page?

Hi ngoonee,

Yes, unfortunately I have searched the forums and so far there is no strait forward answer that I can find.

And also unfortunately this is turning into a larger issue than I originally imagined.

Some forum posts have said that I need to install gcc-multilib from AUR, but unfortunately I am getting a dependency cycle error when I try to do that.

output:

~~~
$ sudo packer -S gcc-multilib
Password:

warning: dependency cycle detected:

:: lib32-pcre: requires lib32-gcc

~~~

According to the comments on the AUR repository (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11191) for lib32-libstdc++5 I need to adjust the PKGBUILD for lib32-libstdc++5 and change "lib32-gcc" to "gcc-multilib" and I have done that, but when I try to build the package I get

==> Missing Dependencies:
-> gcc-multilib

Since it is not installed, it wont build, but I cant install it because of the dependency cycle problems.

Oh, and one more problem.

.

I was using flashplugin-native64 despite the vulnerability but I decided now that we have [multilib] that I would try multilib flashplugin.

I installed multilib flashplugin and it does not work, I get "flash not installed" when using firefox, and also when using Chromium.

.

So, thanks to multilib my system is pretty borked right now.

I think [multilib] is a step in the right direction, but I'm not impressed with these breakages.

EDIT: I was able to roll back to flashplugin-native64 and so my flash is working again.

# pacman -Rd lib32-libstdc++5
# pacman -Syu

Then rebuild and re-install lib32-libstdc++5 from AUR.

And, yes, this is covered in another thread.

Oops. Duplicate post.

Thanks Jay,

That was the information that I was missing.

I didn't see anyone else mention anywhere that it was alright to remove that package.

I added this information to the wiki to save people the time from having to sift through many pages of forum posts.

Thanks.
