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

Well confirmed,

pacman -S pacman

and then

pacman -Suy

did it.

But can anyone explain to me why this worked. Usually it's good to be aware of things one does not understand :-/

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

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...

Same situation here. This solved the issue.  Thanks.

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

It's been about two months since I last had the problem and it cropped up again. To fix it this time, I did a pacman -S gcc-multilib. Just as I stated before, the fact that I had to and still have to do stuff like this tells me there's still something wrong!

No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.

The above worked for me on an i686 system. In my case, I only needed to run...

pacman -S gcc

...before I could update the pacman package.

All: Comment or remove SyncFirst option in /etc/pacman.conf . Thats the culprit.

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

I solved this way:

pacman -R gcc-fortran

and then just update.

Don'y force unistall or don't install "gcc" if you have "gcc-multilib" if you really don't know what you are doing.

There a re basically two way;
You have to find the packet who require gcc, and remove them. Or remove "gcc-multilib" in favor of "gcc".
just find the easier way.

I found the dependencies "gcc-fortran" by yaourt, so i don't know if your is different or witch comand you should use to find who requere to install GCC
