[SOLVED] error: target not found: from multiple applications

I wanted to install skype on my fresh arch OS. I tried with

sudo pacman -S skype

but I got:

error: target not found: skype

. Even though I can find skype here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/mult … _64/skype/ on the arch website, I can't find it with pacman -S. This would be also a question ...

I downloaded the x86 package for my system, and used

sudo pacman -U skype-4.2.0.11-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

, but ... I got this:

loading packages...
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "lib32-qt4", a dependency of "skype"
warning: cannot resolve "lib32-alsa-lib", a dependency of "skype"
warning: cannot resolve "lib32-libxss", a dependency of "skype"
warning: cannot resolve "lib32-libxv", a dependency of "skype"
warning: cannot resolve "lib32-libxcursor", a dependency of "skype"
warning: cannot resolve "lib32-v4l-utils", a dependency of "skype"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      skype

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] 

I said ... ok, I will probably install pidgin, and install some kind of skype plugin, but now ... I tried to install teamviewer from AUR, with this command

sudo yaourt teamviewer

I choosed the second package which is the original teamviewer package not some kind of plugin, but ... I got this:

==> Edit teamviewer.install with:  nano

==> Continue building teamviewer ? [Y/n]
==> ------------------------------------
==> 
==> Building and installing package
==> Install or build missing dependencies for teamviewer:
error: target not found: lib32-freetype2
error: target not found: lib32-alsa-lib
error: target not found: lib32-zlib
error: target not found: lib32-libxdamage
error: target not found: lib32-gcc-libs
error: target not found: lib32-libxtst
==> Restart building teamviewer ? [y/N]

I am pretty sure there is a solution for this ... because I don't want to sit all day, trying to install an application.

Waiting for your suggestions guys.

PS: I've also tried to install for example, for skype, the lib32-qt4 library, but it's already installed, don't know what's happening.

Re: [SOLVED] error: target not found: from multiple applications

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Skype

If you have a 64-bit system, enable the multilib repository first as Skype is 32-bit only.

Re: [SOLVED] error: target not found: from multiple applications

multilib is enabled from /etc/pacman.conf, but it's still the same. Also, as mentioned I got this error also with teamviewer not only skype, and I will probably get it another 1000 of times, since I tried to install only 5 applications until now

This is the /etc/pacman.conf file:

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /

#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log

#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =

# Misc options
#UseSyslog

#VerbosePkgLists

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

[archlinuxfr] 
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for

Re: [SOLVED] error: target not found: from multiple applications

What's the output of 'pacman -Syyu'?

Yep, it seems that pacman -Syyu was needed ... thanks karol.
