[SOLVED] libido3 preventing pacman update exists in filesystem

glenn69 · 2013-01-29 22:12:14

After running pacman -Syu, I receive the infamous .../exists in filesystem

I read the wiki and pacman -Qo on each of the trouble files results in the owner being libido3 12.10.2-100

I do have unity installed through the arch repositories.

If there was no owner, I would remove them, however since the files are owned by something, I don't know what to do next.

Thanks

first off, where the heck is libido3?

Unity isn't in the arch repositories.

glenn69 · 2013-01-29 22:18:12

I installed from the Arch wiki :

From repository
Compiled packages are also available at unity.humbug.in and unity.xe-xe.org. Take unity.xe-xe.org as an example, to install the packages, add
[unity]
Server = http://unity.xe-xe.org/$arch
[unity-extra]
Server = http://unity.xe-xe.org/extra/$arch
to /etc/pacman.conf
Run:
$ pacman -Suy
$ pacman -S $(pacman -Slq unity)

They aren't arch repositories...

Unity page on Arch Wiki wrote:

They aren't arch repositiories...

I mistyped, I meant to type from the Arch wiki

OK, so you installed from some 3rd party repo.

Looking at what's in that repo, I still don't see a package called libido3.

glenn69 · 2013-01-29 23:05:00

I can't seem to find much about the file online either. I'm not sure if ido is the same file as libido?
... but the result of pacman -Qo on a problem file results in

/usr/include/libido3-0.1/libido/idoentrymenuitem.h is owned by libido3 12.10.2-100

then I searched for libido with this result:

[root@Arch-Home_x86_64 ~]# find / -name libido3*
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/libido3-12.10.2-100-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
/var/lib/pacman/local/libido3-12.10.2-100
/usr/include/libido3-0.1
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libido3-0.1.pc
/usr/lib/libido3-0.1.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libido3-0.1.so
/usr/lib/libido3-0.1.so.0

Does pacman -Qi libido3 give you any ideas? How about pacman -Ql libido3?

If I had to guess, I would guess that the maintainer of that repo renamed the package to ido without putting libido3 into the conflicts or replaces array like they should.

Is it possible you installed libido3 from somewhere else completely?

glenn69 · 2013-01-29 23:18:59

Well at this point I am simply documenting my discoveries to help other users.

I've installed pkgtools.
whoneeds libido3 gives these results:

[glennm@Arch-Home_x86_64 ~]$ whoneeds libido3
Packages that depend on [libido3]
  indicator-datetime
  indicator-sound

Now to see what it means.

jasonwryan · 2013-01-29 23:21:15

It's for Unity: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1183934

either uninstall, or update, as per the news item.

glenn69 · 2013-01-29 23:48:13

Removing indicator-datetime and indicator-sound allowed the pacman update to complete.

Attempting to re-install the two files after the update result in the file exists error again....
