[SOLVED] QtWebkit dependency error, can't remove

Hey all,

No idea how I managed this, but I did:

# pacman -S mixxx
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: qtwebkit and qt are in conflict. Remove qt? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: qtwebkit: requires qt
:: mixxx: requires qt>=4.5
# pacman -R qtwebkit
error: 'qtwebkit': target not found

Help appreciated... its my first dependency problem on Arch, I'm from a Debian background till recently so I don't quite know how to handle it!
Cheers, -Harry

Run 'pacman -Syu' and try again.

http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … s/qtwebkit
qtwebkit conflicts with qt<4.8.

Re: [SOLVED] QtWebkit dependency error, can't remove

Tried that before, this is the error...

# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronising package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
archaudio-production is up to date
archaudio-preview is up to date
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
    pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-3

So it doesn't really want to... I can disable the archaudio repos if you think that might help?

Run 'pacman -S pacman' and try again.

This is a known issue https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27214

Thanks the pacman issue is resolved, I think there's a full system upgrade that it wants to perform, doing that now. Bout 400mb to download so it'll be a couple of minutes.

Will post back if that fixes the issue. Thanks already! -Harry

Re: [SOLVED] QtWebkit dependency error, can't remove

Ok after the update (which ran into some problems like the "kmod / module-init-tools" and other dependecy problems) i tried this:

pacman -S qtwebkit   ->worked no problem

and then

pacman -S mixxx  worked fine too.

Thanks Karol for the guidance! -Harry
