[SOLVED] Unable to Update due to gcc-libs-multilib and gcc

Anntoin · 2012-01-18 20:15:20

I also needed to install gcc-objc-multilib to sort it out.

Lothium · 2012-01-18 21:39:39

Mmmh... have the same problem. No thing in this thread works. What should I do? Here is the output:

You need gcc and its dependencies in either x64 or mulitilib -> Replace gcc with gcc-multilib.

CheesyBeef · 2012-01-19 06:53:37

I solved this by doing the following:

pacman -Rdd gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib
pacman -S gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib

When I re-installed them with the second command, it added the dependency lib32-gcc-libs. So it appears there was an issue regarding that not being installed as a dependency.

Lothium · 2012-01-19 08:37:15

Ok, thanks. Doing

pacman -Rdd gcc-libs-multilib
pacman -S gcc-libs-multilib

did for me the trick!

Thanks and best regards!

This fixed it for me. Thanks!

Nothing worked for me:

Instead of copy & pasting commands from the forums, try to understand whats going on, and do read what is printed on the screen!

By answering yes, you cancel the current operation and install pacman, aka pacman -S pacman.

Do you actually use multilib? Can you post what gcc packages you have installed (query local database and search for gcc, post with code tags please).

CheesyBeef · 2012-01-19 22:29:56

I actually found out that the above series of commands I issued did not solve the problem - they only allowed me to update my system. I still receive the line:

missing dependency for gcc-objc : gcc=4.6.2-5

whenever I run pacman. Here are my gcc packages:

$ pacman -Qs gcc
local/gcc-libs-multilib 4.6.2-5.1
    Runtime libraries shipped by GCC for multilib
local/gcc-multilib 4.6.2-5.1 (multilib-devel)
    The GNU Compiler Collection - C and C++ frontends for multilib
local/gcc-objc 4.6.2-5
    Objective-C front-end for GCC
local/lib32-gcc-libs 4.6.2-5.1
    Runtime libraries shipped by GCC (32-bit)

Do I need to replace gcc-objc with gcc-objc-multilib? I guess I'm unaware of the differences between these.

Edit: Installed gcc-objc-multilib, replacing gcc-objc, and the message has appeared to have gone away.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had no idea that gcc-multilib existed or was the correct version of gcc for multilib installations. Installing gcc-multilib fixed an issue I had similiar to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27986

jceasless · 2012-01-22 14:04:11

Fortunately the uninstall/reinstall of gcc-multilib and gcc-libs-multilib went without a hitch. This resolved the 'lib32-gcc-libs will install first' issue.

Unfortunately I still cannot do a system upgrade, as pacman complains that gcc-libs conflicts with gcc-libs-multilib. Unfortunately it does not list which applications are requiring gcc-libs, nor does it make any sense, as gcc-libs-multilib provides gcc-libs.

The [SOLVED] should really be removed from this thread, as issues are apparently persisting.

@jceasless,
can you post the full output including the list of packages to be updated?

This thread originally related to a bug which was fixed last month. The problems it was revived with are actually different ones (like having to install gcc-fortran-multilibs).

Vladimiroff · 2012-02-15 00:44:47

Why not just forbid the deps check?

pacman -Sd pacman

Did the trick for me

So you say

pacman -S pacman

didn't work?

rck · 2012-02-15 17:37:43

for me a combination of what emphire and Lothium wrote did the trick:

pacman -Rdd gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib
pacman -Su
# I want my multilib gcc back
pacman -S gcc-multilib
:: gcc-libs-multilib and gcc-libs are in conflict. Remove gcc-libs? [y/N] y

The fact that you had to do that, to me, tells me it is still broken. I got the same error message as jceasless. Also of interest is gcc-libs-multilib's pacman summary:

Note the "provides" line. Pacman shouldn't be complaining about gcc-libs at all, since it is provided by gcc-libs-multilib. This sounds like a problem in pacman itself.

This is the upgrade issue on 64bit Arch:

Or you could just answer n to

    pacman

ewtoombs · 2012-02-17 04:58:18

Getting rid of gcc-libs-multilib, installing pacman, then reinstalling gcc-libs-multilib worked for me, but it shouldn't have been necessary, since gcc-libs-multilib provides gcc-libs. In my eyes, this still translates to a problem with pacman. If this is the correct behaviour, then you have some explaining to do, because it makes no sense to me.

ulukai · 2012-02-17 19:16:53

I had the same issue.

pacman -S pacman

and then a normal system update solved it for me as well, but it still doesn't make any sense...

NeekO · 2012-02-19 19:45:20

What did the trick was:

# pacman -S pacman

hlx70375 · 2012-02-24 13:28:23

Great!
pacman -S pacman
It work to me.
Thanks.

t1nk3r3r · 2012-03-04 07:06:52

pacman -S pacman

Worked for me, although I did also clean the cache and check pacman.conf to find I hadn't properly uncommented [multilib].
