Xorg-server-xvfb: installing xorg-server1.12-common breaks dependency

[SOLVED]

I try to upgrade my system but something goes wrong. I ignore the upgrading of the whole Xorg package (with ignore-pkg) because I am using Nvidia173xx driver from City-busz repo:

In my pacman.conf:

IgnorePkg   = pandoc-static xorg xorg-server
#linux-lts
IgnoreGroup = xorg xorg-video-drivers xorg-input-drivers

When I try to upgrade I get the following messages:

warning: xf86-input-synaptics: ignoring package upgrade (1.8.99.1-1 => 1.9.0-1)
warning: xorg-mkfontdir: ignoring package upgrade (1.0.7-2 => 1.0.7-7)

Re: Xorg-server-xvfb: installing xorg-server1.12-common breaks dependency

I'm guessing you mean this city repo ?

xorg has a lot more parts then just xorg-server.

Try using the xorg112 repo Vi0L0' maintains for older amd catalyst versions, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AM … st#xorg112 .

Put it as first repo in your pacman.conf (so above [core] ) , then remove xorg stuff from the ignorepkg & ignoregroup lines.

Re: Xorg-server-xvfb: installing xorg-server1.12-common breaks dependency

Thanks, I added 

[xorg112]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://mirror.hactar.xyz/Vi0L0/xorg112/$arch

Then removed IgnorGroup and IgnorePkg, but when I try to update the system I still have an error message:

Re: Xorg-server-xvfb: installing xorg-server1.12-common breaks dependency

Several packages will have to be downgraded, pacman only does that when specifically told to.

try pacman -Syuu

Re: Xorg-server-xvfb: installing xorg-server1.12-common breaks dependency

The conflict itself is not surprising and most likely caused by package(s) from current xorg that didn't exist in xorg 1.12 .

Once found those pacakge(s) will probably need to be removed by using "-dd" to ignore dependencies completely.
If you remove more then is absolutely necessary this could lead to breakage that will be very hard to troubleshoot.

Not sure how to figure out which things to remove, but let's try .

post the output of pacman -Syuu --downloadonly --ignore xorg-server-common
and pacman -Qi xorg-server-common .

Re: Xorg-server-xvfb: installing xorg-server1.12-common breaks dependency

Problem solved, I just had to uninstall "xorg-server-xvfb" which I installed "accidentally" when I tried to achieve VESA driver and 800x600 resolution.
