[SOLVED] Krb5 and Heimdal conflict

Last two days pacman -Syu asks if I want to swap heimdal with krb5, but then it displays a lot of messages that file foo already exist and thus no packages were updated. Some of files it complains about are:

(sorry, messages are in czech)

krb5: /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2.2 již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3.1 již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3.3 již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so.0 již existuje v souborovém systému
krb5: /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so.0.1 již existuje v souborovém systému

Waht to do now?

Re: [SOLVED] Krb5 and Heimdal conflict

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2

---

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

Re: [SOLVED] Krb5 and Heimdal conflict

It responds with

/usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 owned by libkrb53 1.8.1-3

Guess i should remove libkrb53.

--edit--

And it worked like a miracle.

Re: [SOLVED] Krb5 and Heimdal conflict

I've been getting this:

:: krb5 and heimdal are in conflict. Remove heimdal? [y/N] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: krb5 and heimdal are in conflict

Should I remove heimdal or what?

Re: [SOLVED] Krb5 and Heimdal conflict

@wonder, yeah, thanks. I ended up doing that and have been extremely occupied since then. I think the problem was my mirror choice, because everything on the Brazilian mirrors seemed to be extremely outdated. I installed the system yesterday and updated it accordingly, but since I was looking on Arch Wiki to install GDM/Gnome, I found it very odd that I had Gnome 2.x instead of Gnome 3, which I thought was very weird given the bleeding edge nature of Arch. But I figured I hadn't installed the Gnome Shell and GTK3 packages so that was the reason.

That heimdal and krb5 conflict happened this morning, and I had to update the system again. Now I believe I'm up-to-date, with GTK3, Shell and everything.

Re: [SOLVED] Krb5 and Heimdal conflict

I have the same problem but I'm using USA mirrors. If I try to install alpine or openssh I get the same errors as @ktronic. libcups, gtk2, and smbclient depend on heimdal so I can't remove it.

If I try @wonder's fix, I get:

error: failed to read file '/usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2': No such file or directory

Is your mirrorlist up to date? You can always grab a fresh one http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and run 'pacman -Syyu'.

Re: [SOLVED] Krb5 and Heimdal conflict

Thank you @karol, that was a very fast reply and seems it will probably do it. We newbies always appreciate this kind of help.

update: I spoke too soon, that did not work.

[root@scheherezade ~]# pacman -S openssh
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: krb5 and heimdal are in conflict. Remove heimdal? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gtk2: requires heimdal>=1.3.2
:: libcups: requires heimdal>=1.3.1
:: smbclient: requires heimdal>=1.2-1

problem resolution: Thanks to the help of oskude, meyithi, and others in #archlinux IRC, the problem has been resolved.

The most recent ArchBang package comes with

aufs2

, which needed to be removed (

pacman -R aufs2

).

also: I was getting error messages on

pacman -Syyu

which are explained here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57205. I had to rename some files. I backed up the directory with git and then bulk-renamed as in http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/150.
