warning: libpng12: local

Shadowfire · 2013-09-01 14:53:27

I have a Radeon ATI card and use the official drivers. Since a recent upgrade to newer drivers I have gotten the following issue with distro rolling upgrades.

$ sudo pacman -Syu

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 catalyst is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 archlinuxfr is up to date

:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: libpng12: local (1.2.50-2) is newer than catalyst (1.2.50-1)
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

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

:: mesa-libgl and catalyst-test are in conflict

I am looking to fix the libpng12 and the mesa-libgl conflict.

I am having a time trying to figure out a full fix for this on going issue. I have search the forums, and can't seem to find a solution (I did find a work around). Currently I have a work around,
and that is to use: sudo pacman -Syu --ignore mesa-libgl

But I would like to clean this up and just be able to do: sudo pacman -Syu

Thanks for your help.

If you want the binary drivers, you need to remove mesa-libgl, but libpng12 shouldn't come into this at all. It doesn't even conflict with anything and only depends on zlib. Even stranger is that it is comparing the version to catalyst. What is the output of "pacman -Qi libpng12"? Sounds like something in your database has gone wacky.

Edit: how about the output of "pacman -Qi catalyst" as well? If that's not found, "pacman -Qi catalyst-test".

'catalyst' is the name of an unofficial repo.

Shadowfire, when pasting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Here is the repo with unofficial libpng12. Version conflict is expected, since this repo is at the top, so it gets the highest priority. What's gone wrong is that OP must have enabled this repository only recently, so either:

The version in this repository is outdated (I doubt it since the version from community was build on 14.11.2012, and the one from catalyst on 8.02.2013). If it is in fact outdated, then it should be removed from the repo. A workaround is to move the repository to the bottom of the list, under multilib (although this may break something in the future);
The version in catalyst repo is meant to be like that, and that's why the Wiki says "add the repository of choice's information above all other repositories in /etc/pacman.conf" (emphasis not mine). In this case, the fix is `pacman -Syuu`.

@OP
What is 'catalyst-test'? It is not present in any repository from your list.

Karol - thanks for the quick reminder..

Ah, yeah, I was misinterpreting the error. My bad, I've only seen the error a few times myself.

Shadowfire, it's simply complaining because libpng12 from the catalyst repo is using release number that are out of sync with the official repo. You can get rid of the error by doing "pacman -Suu", but it should really be fixed by the repo maintainer.

progandy · 2013-09-02 03:36:47

You are using catalyst-test from the aur, so you don't need the catalyst repository at all. Why don't you remove it? Then the libpng12 error will disappear.
Then remove mesa-libgl since you don't need it and everything should be ok.

Maybe OP doesn't have mesa-libgl installed and something is trying to pull it in?

Scimmia · 2013-09-02 03:45:32

It's possible, but without getting more information, we don't know.

You are right. I read the message in the wrong direction.
