[SOLVED] Cannot update system

Hi there,
When trying to update the whole system, I'm getting the following error:

python2-ubuntuone-storageprotocol: installing python2-protobuf (3.0.2-2) breaks dependency 'protobuf-python'

Tried to uninstall and update --force, but I get the same error.
Any thoughts on how to fix it?
Thanks,
D

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update system

And what, exactly, is python2-ubuntuone-storageprotocol?

The package seems to be python2-ubuntuone-storageprotocol. I can find it locally (pacman -Qs...), but not in the repos...
It can be found here:

https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … eprotocol/


Solved: just uninstalled ubuntu-one

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update system

Why do you have it installed? As far as I know ubuntuone doesn't exist anymore, therefore simply remove the package.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update system

This is a dependency problem. Is the error message complete or is there a version number that you have forget. Anyway, it should work after you uninstall python2-protobuf protobuf-python which are not official packages (try to reinstall them afterward).

The "--force" option means to allow pacman to overwrite files. According to the files that will be overwritten, you can end up with a non-functional (maybe unbootable) system;  using "--force" means that you are OK with it.

To ignore a dependency error, you should use the "-dd' flags. Any package affected by the dependency problem will be broken; "-dd" means that you are OK with it. You can check the dependencies afterward by using the "pacman -Dk" (unless of course, you have broken essential packages).

These options should only be used when you know what you are doing, for example because you know the files that will be overwritten and you know it is harmless. Using it blindly will break things, and if you do not know exactly what will broke, you are good for reinstalling if you want a reliable system.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update system

I have the same problem, but am unable to remove ubuntu-one.
Tried:

[franz@localhost ~]$ sudo pacman -Rs ubuntuone-*
error: target not found: ubuntuone-*
[franz@localhost ~]$ sudo pacman -Rs ubuntu-one
error: target not found: ubuntu-one
[franz@localhost ~]$ sudo pacman -Rs ubuntuone
error: target not found: ubuntuone

Any idea?
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update system

The package-name is python2-ubuntuone-storageprotocol, not ubuntuone, not ubuntu-one. Use pacman -Q and find out what Needs to be removed.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update system

1) Open a new thread and reference this one, as it was already marked "solved".
2) Original poster never tried to issue any of the commands you are listing.
3) have you seen what packages were installed with "ubuntu" in the name?

pacman -Qs ubuntu

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot update system

If you're getting the same error, why aren't you trying to remove python2-ubuntuone-storageprotocol which is explicitly listed in the error message?

EDIT: Too slow.
