[SOLVED] latest pacman upgrade - hoping for news update

Trying to remove gcc-multilib results in the predictable dependency hell.

What to do, just wait?

Looks like an out of sync mirror. I also have gcc-multilib and it didn't bug me.

Cheers, failed to mention (self flagellation to follow) that I ran reflector beforehand.

Will try a couple more mirrors...

Okay, that explains it - ta karol.

Can somebody put something out on the news? No doubt the forum is gonna get flooded (I searched but no results as yet).

Both mention zsnes.

toad · 2012-02-13 19:24:36

hang on, that is an old bug...

I've got pacman 4.0.1-4 and gcc-multilib and gcc-libs-multilib at version 4.6.2-7

Also failed to mention that I update every day and did not have this problem this morning...

Similar bug

has reportedly been taken care of.

Upgrading pacman alone fixes the issue for me (sudo pacman -Sy pacman).

The man Works as advertised. Am marking this as solved.

desm0tes · 2012-02-13 19:35:49

ignoring it works, too

If you have the multilib repo enabled and gcc-multilib enabled: it breaks all the time. Feels almost like standard issue - I suppose they're aware but don't care enough to sync it.

Or they might not be aware, of course, but surely we mustn't be the only souls running multilib.

JKAbrams · 2012-02-13 22:29:31

Can someone please explain this, I don't understand the difference (in this case) between reinstalling and upgrading, the effect is the same, but upgrading pacman with (-Syu) did not work.

Its probably clear but just to be explicit:

[root@p182 home]# pacman -Syu

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

there is nothing to do

In my understanding it is not a problem of gcc-libs-multilib but a problem of pacman.

I mean, why would pacman see a conflict with

pacman -Syu

, but not with

pacman -Sy; pacman -S pacman; pacman -Su

? That doesn't make sense to me.

Also, pactree seems to imply that gcc-libs-multilib provides gcc-libs and there is no actual dependency that would require gcc-libs instead of gcc-libs-multilib which provides gcc-libs even in the exact same version it itself is...

NoobCp · 2012-02-14 06:43:32

pacmatic -Syy pacman before upgrade also helped me around the problem today.

Frez · 2012-02-14 14:42:04

pacman -S pacman

solved everything for me too, thank you!!!!

toad · 2012-02-14 14:45:48

The same "solution" as in the bug report that karol posted in post #3 - I just didn't read it properly thinking it was old
