[SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

Hi all,

I've been trying to install an AUR package and when I run 'makepkg -s' it said it couldn't resolve dependencies. I checked the dependencies, installed them via pacman, and still got the same message. I've been searching around everywhere and couldn't figure it out.

Then, disregarding the dire warning, I ran 'makepkg --asroot.' I got an error message saying it didn't have a required dependency that wasn't listed on the AUR site. I installed it with pacman, then ran 'makepkg -s' and it worked fine.

What gives? Why wasn't the dependency listed on the AUR page? It was the ttf-ms-fonts and has been updated on Jan 13, 2011 so it is up to date. Any ideas?

Thanks!

*quick update*
I tried installing flashplugin-prerelease and it wouldn't install the dependencies that were listed on the AUR page. No hidden dependencies this time though.

Re: [SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to resolve dependencies that are only found in the AUR.  Pacman can not resolve dependencies only found in the AUR for you.

If I don't understand correctly, post some actual pacman output.

Re: [SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

The dependencies were all in the repositories and I installed them with pacman. The makepkg wouldn't install them for me with the "-s" added like it should. I then installed the dependencies listed on the AUR package's page via pacman, but when I tried makepkg again it complained about missing dependencies. I ran "makepkg --asroot" and it said that there was another dependency (again, in the regular repositories) that wasn't listed on the AUR page.

I was under the impression that running "makepkg -s" would compile (is that the right term?) the PKGBUILD and install any needed dependencies that are available in the repos.

better? is there a makepkg log i can post? I can't find one.

Just copy/paste the output from makepkg.  There is not really a log for that part of the build.

Re: [SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

Well because I already installed the package successfully, I'll have to write it from memory. The output from makepkg was something along the lines of "error: cannot resolve dependencies" then underneath it said "could not find or read package". Then I ran makepkg --asroot and it had the same error message but TOLD me what the missing dependency was, so I just installed it from pacman. After that the makepkg command worked.

Re: [SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

I'm going to need actual cut and paste output to try and track this down further as it is not something I have ever seen before.   Remember to keep a copy of the output next time you build a package.

Weird...    try running:

pacman -T fakepkgname

and see what output you get.

Re: [SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

Ah...  there comes the failure.  Try:

chmod 644 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

to get the permissions back to standard.

Re: [SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

I forgot about the permissions when I changed the mirrorlist, thanks!

The makepkg is still giving me an error, this time its:

[myco-runner@Arch yaourt]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: yaourt 0.9.5.1-1 (Tue Feb 15 20:50:09 EST 2011)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: 'package-query>=0.4': could not find or read package
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

At least this time it tells me what package is missing, but it won't install it because it's an AUR package. I suspect it will work for other non-AUR packages though.

Just confirmed it, it works! Thanks!

Correct.  pacman knows nothing about packages in the AUR.

Re: [SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

I just update the

 sudo pacman -Syy 

then, it works. I hope it will be helpful.

Re: [SOLVED]MAKEPKG can't resolve dependencies unless I use --asroot first

It won't. That is awful advice. Never update package lists (-Sy or -Syy) unless you immediately follow it up with a system upgrade (-Su or -Syu).

Regardless, I don't see what this has to do with a four year old [SOLVED] thread. Please don't necrobump.
