Re: [SOLVED] conflict update: 3 packages in conflict

you would need to update freetype2-ubuntu  first and then pacman -Syu

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] conflict update: 3 packages in conflict

I have run into this issue as well:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace libdjvu with extra/djvulibre? [Y/n] y
:: Replace libv4l with extra/v4l-utils? [Y/n] y
:: Replace monaco_linux with community/monaco-linux-font? [Y/n] y
:: Replace wireshark with extra/wireshark-gtk? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: cairo and cairo-ubuntu are in conflict. Remove cairo-ubuntu? [y/N] y
:: freetype2 and freetype2-ubuntu are in conflict. Remove freetype2-ubuntu? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: fontconfig-ubuntu: requires freetype2-ubuntu>=2.3.11
:: libxft-ubuntu: requires freetype2-ubuntu

I tried updating freetype2-ubuntu first (using yaourt) but am encountering a strange error:

error: 'freetype2-ubuntu': could not find or read package

It appears the freetype2-ubuntu package does not exist any longer?  Originally I installed these to fix issues I was having with Firefox rendering fonts - following the guidelines here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration

Any help would be appreciated

becatlibra: You have to manually upgrade package-query first to fix your yaourt because of AUR change from HTTP to HTTPS.

Thanks for that info.  I tried visiting the link you provided and grabbed the source from both the tarball link as well as cloning the GIT repo, however when I go into the source directory, there is no PKGBUILD:

makepkg -s
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.

I am guessing I am just doing something wrong.  Here is what I have tried

wget the tar.gz
untar
cd into the dir
makepkg -s (FAILS)

git clone
cd into the dir
makepkg -s (FAILS)

both fail as there is no PKGBUILD

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

NM - I grabbed the source from the link in the middle

Tarball :: Files :: pkgbuild

Which of course, included the pkgbuild.

Thanks

wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/package-query/package-query.tar.gz
tar cf package-query.tar.gz
cd package-query
makepkg

Re: [SOLVED] conflict update: 3 packages in conflict

Okay I am making progress.  That installation went fine however I have a new error.  I have tried updating just freetype2-ubuntu.tar.gz first and am getting the following error:

yaourt -S freetype2-ubuntu

==> Downloading freetype2-ubuntu PKGBUILD from AUR...
bsdtar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'freetype2-ubuntu.tar.gz'
rm: cannot remove `freetype2-ubuntu.tar.gz': No such file or directory

I know I can grab the appropriate files manually from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17328 however I would prefer to use yaourt if possible.  Ideas on what is causing this?

Please let me know if you can help.  And thanks again for the help already.

Re: [SOLVED] conflict update: 3 packages in conflict

It seems yaourt needs to be updated too. You can install it from http://repo.archlinux.fr/.

i686:

pacman -U http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686/yaourt-0.9.5-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

x86_64:

pacman -U http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64/yaourt-0.9.5-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
