wine-silverlight and wine conflict

Hello dear arch-users,
I had already wine-silverlight installed, to absolve the dependences of pipelight.
Not I want to install wine but comes out the conflict between wine and wine-silverlight.
Then I removed wine-silverlight and pipelight and installed again wine-silverlight following the hint in the wiki, so uncomment the

 customprefix=1

variable but it seems that wine.silverlight is always installed in the default directory.
In fact, when I try to install wine, it comes out again the same conflict issue.
How can I solve it?

Thanks.

Post the exact command you're running and the exact error you're getting.

Re: wine-silverlight and wine conflict

Wine.silverlight is installed.
Then I run

[*****@*****arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S wine
[sudo] password for *****:

:: wine and wine-silverlight are in conflict. Remove wine-silverlight? [y/N]

Re: wine-silverlight and wine conflict

Run

LC_ALL=C <command>

to get the output in English.

What's the output of 'pacman -Si wine-silverlight'? Where do you get this package from - AUR or some unofficial repo?
They precompiled ones seem all to conflict with wine.

I took and compiled the package from AUR.

PS. I re-installed it without touching the PKGBUILD.

Re: wine-silverlight and wine conflict

What about the 'customprefix=1' https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wi/w … t/PKGBUILD

# Uncomment the line below if you want wine installed to /opt/wine-silverlight instead of replacing wine
#customprefix=1

if [[ $customprefix != 1 ]]; then
  _prefix="usr"
  _sysconf="etc"
  conflicts=('wine' 'wine-compholio')
  provides=('wine=${pkgver}' 'wine-compholio=${pkgver}')
else
  # change _prefix if you don't want to use the default custom prefix of /opt/wine-silverlight
  _prefix="opt/$pkgname"
  _sysconf="$_prefix/etc"
  conflicts=('wine-compholio')
  provides=('wine-compholio=${pkgver}')
fi

If you did not change it in the PKGBUILD, even the one from the AUR will conflict.

I want to install wine but comes out the conflict between wine and wine-silverlight.

Why do you want both wine and wine-silverlight? Shouldn't one of them be enough?

Re: wine-silverlight and wine conflict

I also uncommented, as I wrote in my first post, that option but I get the same conflict.
Little question, if I install wine, do I need wine-silverlight to run pipelight?

Re: wine-silverlight and wine conflict

You need wine-silverlight to run pipelight. You don't need wine.
wine-silverlight is wine + some patches.

Why do you want both wine and wine-silverlight?

Re: wine-silverlight and wine conflict

I thought that wine was different from wine-silverlight, or at least, was a version of wine related to strictly run of pipelight.
Then I come out that I don't need to install wine if I have already wine-silverlight.
Last hint: do you recommend me to install wine-silverlight or simply wine?
Does pipelight run with the normal wine package?

That's true:

pipelight depends on wine-silverlight>=1.7.11-1, it won't install if you have an earlier version.

Does pipelight run with the normal wine package?

Read e.g. pacman's output and the PKGBUILDs, it's not magic.

Re: wine-silverlight and wine conflict

Thank you for your support!
Now I will install a front-end for wine.
By the way, I love Archlinux!
