System update issue

Hello all I am trying to update and am having some dependency issues I do not know how to resolve:

I have tried to resolve the dependencies manually with no avail:

[kenny@TITAN ~]$ sudo pacman -Sy gcc-libs-multilib
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] n
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc-libs-multilib: requires glibc>=2.22

Im not sure what is going on here. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

You installed Archbang, presumably?

kpalmer78 · 2015-08-10 03:40:36

Sorry, I dont know what archbang is?

jasonwryan · 2015-08-10 03:45:43

It is a derivative, like Manjaro, or Evolution or whatever it is you used to install Arch that has a broken pacman.conf...

kpalmer78 · 2015-08-10 06:13:41

I am running the standard arch install. No derivatives. I have updated many times with no issues.

jasonwryan · 2015-08-10 06:33:15

Please paste your pacman.conf and the output of `uname -a`

You're using multilib-testing without testing.

jasonwryan · 2015-08-10 07:13:56

Yes. There seems to be a run on that issue at the moment.

Which is why I think it unlikely to be mass PEBKAC...

kpalmer78 · 2015-08-10 09:03:32

So I need to enable testing in my pacman.conf?

I did have to enable multilib testing a while back to get a VMWARE patch to work. However I have updated since then without issue many times.

Can anyone explain why enabling testing resolves this issue? I am just trying to understand what is going on to further my knowledge. Thanks to all that have responded.

So enabling testing has brought me further. Now hp-plugin is complaining. hplip is installed already so why is the dependency not met?

you are essentially doing partial updates because you are using newer lib32 versions of things that aren't out of testing yet. Either you disable all of testing and downgrade or you enable testing with all the potential caveats that that implies.You probably could use it like that because there weren't any libraries that needed updating from testing, however glibc is pretty omnipresent and hence you run into this issue. (You try to update lib32-glibc which has a hard dependency on the corresponding x86_64 version which is in testing)

pacman wrote:

:: hplip-plugin: requires hplip<3.15.7

That is... somewhat incompatible with what's stated here.

Since you're using an automated AUR helper, is it possible that it's still pointing to the old AUR?

kpalmer78 · 2015-08-10 09:27:48

Ok I think I am understanding here.

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: hplip-plugin: requires hplip<3.15.7

[kenny@TITAN ~]$ pacman -Q hplip
hplip 3.15.6-1
[kenny@TITAN ~]$

so hplip version is lower than required. When i try to update hplip I cannot get version 3.15.7, pacman tells me that 3.15.6-1 is the latest. How do I install the 3.15.7 version?

thanks again for the patience and explanation

V1del · 2015-08-10 09:28:16

You have to remove hplib-plugin first then update, then reinstall hplip-plugin as stated in the comments, because the AUR is only checked after the official updates went through but it breaks there because of the hard dependency.

If I did want to disable testing and downgrade how can I accomplish this?

V1del · 2015-08-10 09:31:44

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Of … positories

In general checking and fixing errors related to AUR packages are your responsibility you should be aware of which packages you have are from AUR (pacman -Qm will help you here) and determine the necessary steps in case of errors like the one with the hplib (check the AUR page of the package in question for any comments regarding the issue most likely)
