Installing pandoc gives dependency errors[SOLVED]

pyarch · 2014-09-10 01:32:27

Hi,
I am trying to install pandoc but i get this error:

 
sudo pacman -S haskell-pandoc
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: haskell-x11-xft: requires haskell-utf8-string=0.3.7
:: xmonad: requires haskell-utf8-string=0.3.7
:: xmonad-contrib: requires haskell-utf8-string=0.3.7
:: xmonad-contrib: requires haskell-random=1.0.1.1

i did pacman install on the above packages and they seem to be installed.
What am I missing here?

What am I missing? I don't see haskell-pandoc in the package list: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sor … =&flagged=

I see it in the AUR, but I am confused by you being able to install it with pacman. In any event, the current versions of the dependent packages seem to meet the requirements -- is your system up to date? Could you show me the output of "uname -a" and "pacman -Qi haskell-random"?

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … f8-string/
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … ll-random/

(edit) ah - unofficial repo; thank you Trilby, this may (at least partly) explain my confusion.

I assume you are using the onofficial repository, right? What do you mean those packages "seem to be installed"? Are they, or aren't they? What versions are they?

Please post full pacman output, not abbreviated.

Have you seen this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … leshooting

EDIT: from what I can infer, you have xmonad and other haskell packages from the main repos, but you are trying to mix-and-match with the haskell repo. You can't do that. Pick one.

I am just guessing, but ...'yu'

As in pacman -Syu haskel-pandoc ?

Edit: I somehow did not see the two posts ahead of mine. They are probably on the correct track. Mine is the more general answer.

pyarch, if Trilby is correct, Haskell packages from different repos cause all sorts of problems even with the same version. If you are pulling from [haskell-core], you should remove all Haskell programs from the Arch repos and reinstall from [haskell-core]. As well, [haskell-core] should go on top of [testing] in pacman.conf in order to avoid collisions.

I have official repository setup ( which if I am not wrong is adding the haskell-core to the pacman.conf ).
That is the full output of the pacman command that I ran

Your system is not up to date. The current kernel is 3.16.2.1. Update your system (pacman -Syu) and try again. This may not fix the problem, but it's a start.

(edit) skottish says that the haskell repo should be before the testing and main repos in your pacman.conf, not at the end of pacman.conf.

I have reached the end of any useful input I might have, so I'm done. Good luck.

So do i need to first uninstall and reinstall using pacman ?

pyarch · 2014-09-10 02:43:55

edit: did

sudo pacman -Syu

I uninstall xmonad xmonad-contrib and all the packages, and ran pacman -Syy and then tried :

 sudo pacman -S xmonad xmonad-contrib

i am getting this error:

$ sudo pacman -S xmonad xmonad-contrib

Don't -Sy then -S: do a full upgrade or not at all...

Also, did you follow skottish's advice and move the repo?

yes I moved the haskell block above the testing on my pacman.conf

Have you read the link I provided. The more data you give, the more confident I am that that link - with only a couple lines of text for you to read - covers your exact sitation.

EDIT: correction, as I've now run into this flavor of misunderstanding a couple times on the forums: you don't merely need to read the information in that link, you must actually follow the instructions provided. You have very clearly not followed them.

My mistake. I apologize. You were right I had archhaskell and official packages mix and match. I didn't realize that arch-haskell is not Official (thought it was)
Solution:

 
$ sudo pacman -Rscn xmonad xmonad-contrib 
$sudo pacman -Syy
$sudo pacman -S haskell-xmonad haskell-xmonad-contrib haskell-pandoc

Trilby · 2014-09-10 15:30:26

I'm glad that worked, but break the `pacman -Sy` (or `pacman -Syy`) habit now before it breaks your system. Just never ever execute such a command. Period.
