[SOLVED] clyde trying to update xorg-server-xvfb, doesn't exist

DarksideEE7 · 2010-09-16 23:03:41

This is driving me crazy, for some reason when I run:

sudo clyde -Syu --aur

to update my AUR packages clyde is trying to install xorg-server-xvfb. The problem is that I don't even have this installed.

I've cleared cache using

sudo clyde -Scc

and manually removed the xorg-server-xvfb directory from /tmp/clyde-$USER/

I have retrieved the latest mirrors using reflector, tried enabling [testing], syncing, then disabling testing, clearing cache. I realize that the package is only located in [testing], which is why I tried enabling/disabling [testing].
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testi … rver-xvfb/

Still no luck. I know I can manually update firefox-pgo and other AUR packages, however i would like to resolve this. It's also doing it on my laptop. I have Arch x86_64 on both.

Where does clyde read the database for the installed packages? I moved the testing db file in /var/lib/pacman with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing xorg-server-xvfb is a new dependency to a package you are trying to upgrade. Just a guess though.

According to http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testi … rver-xvfb/ it's not required by anything.

No, I've updated the non-AUR packages using pacman. The only packages that need to be updated are firefox-pgo and calibri.

I ended up 'fixing' it by going back to tty1, removing xorg-server-1.8-catalyst-maximize-fix, then enabling [testing], syncing, installing xorg-server-xvfb, removing it again, then reinstalling xorg-server-1.8-catalyst-maximize-fix.

I guess I'll do the same on my laptop (substituting xorg-server for xorg-server-1.8-catalyst-maximize-fix), however I still wouldn't mind knowing what clyde parses when you add the --aur switch to it. This part:

aur                     32/ 97 [#####################################-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------]  32%

Yep, and I think at one point I installed this package from testing in order to try to get framebuffer working with fglrx (no KMS with fglrx), so I suppose it's possible that I ended up commenting out [testing] before removing the package, which left clyde's database (wherever it is...) tainted.

Now the strange part is that my laptop has KMS setting enabled, so I'm fairly certain I've never installed it. The only system-related files I have synced with my server and laptop are :

/etc/pacman.conf
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
/etc/clyde.conf

Oh well, it's working, but I'm still interested in what file clyde parses to report the package list when updating.

Where do you get that calibri from? No such package in the repos, also not found in AUR.

My apologies, I meant to type calibre, the eBook manager:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20406

I'm used to typing calibir, then font.

BTW this is one of the most impressive FOSS apps out there, it's really nice. I use it to manage my Kindle, and it can convert PDFs to any ebook format you want. Great stuff.

Ah, OK. I thought maybe it needed xorg-server-xvfb for some reason.
Carry on :-)

He's upgrading AUR packages. AUR packages don't show up on that list.

Okay, I was simply replying to what you had said. Some people could take what you have said and interpret it as "it's not required by anything", which could be incorrect.

Well I thought it fixed it because it didn't show last time I synced, but I didn't upgrade firefox-pgo yet. I went to update now and the damn thing is back. What is going on here? How is this package being called to update when it's not even installed? I mean after I installed it, then removed it, then disabled testing, then tried to update it was not showing. I then answered 'n' to update firefox.....

Jeez, phantom packages.

DarksideEE7 · 2010-09-17 02:53:48

xorg-server-xvfb is a dependency (for some strange reason) of firefox-pgo.....how embarrassing. I never even bothered to check because I've always used firefox-pgo and I've never had to install that package. Strange. I bet it will build without it.

cesura · 2010-09-17 03:26:52

firefox-pgo now requires xorg-server-xvfb if you are using the [testing] repo for your X.Org.
If you are not using [testing], you may get an error that 'xorg-server-xvfb' cannot be found.
Simply confirm that you still have a /usr/bin/Xvfb, and remove that name from the makedepends array.

Didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night, plus messing with Arch while studying for a C++ test and writing some code. If I keep it up I'll need to wear a helmet

Haha we've all been there. Because this is resolved, could you please prepend [SOLVED] to the thread title?

Hmmm, I had a quick look at that page, but I haven't see it among the dependencies, so I ruled firefox-pgo out ;P

Yea I was able to build it just fine after removing it from the PKGBUILD. I've been using firefox-pgo for so long I never even bothered to check it. derp
