[SOLVED] error: target not found: from multilib applications

rafael.lima · 2017-04-29 15:54:30

I'm trying to install smlnj package but I'm getting this error message:

resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "lib32-glibc", a dependency of "smlnj"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
smlnj
:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N]
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: smlnj: requires lib32-glibc

Then I tried to install lib32-glibc:

error: target not found: lib32-glibc

Searching in the forums I figured that I needed to enable multilib. After enabling in it pacman.conf I've upgraded pacman with pacman -Syyu but I still receiving the same error message.

sudo pacman -Syyu

there is nothing to do

sudo pacman -S lib32-glibc
error: target not found: lib32-glibc

Waiting for your suggestions. Thanks!

Doesn't look like you have enabled multilib, have you uncommented both lines? Post your pacman.conf. And do yourself a favor and get rid of archlinuxfr it contains outdated and broken packages.

Use code-tags , not quote-tags for such texts .

something went wrong with editing your /etc/pacman.conf , please post it.

P.S.
please remove the archlinuxfr repo, atleast until you have found a very good reason to use it.
If you used it to get yaourt, i suggest removing yaourt until you are able to build yaourt yourself.

Thanks for the reply! That's my pacman.conf

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.

#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file

#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:

#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.

I didn't know that using yaourt that way is not a good idea. Will remove that from the config files.
Any suggestions on how to build yaourt?
Thanks!

These lines are not good:

#[multilib-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

You also have to uncomment the [multilib-testing] and [multilib] line, i.e.

[multilib-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

NB: it is documented in the file itself:

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.

Why do you (want to) enable multilib-testing? Only if you want to test packages it is a good idea to enable testing.

The archlinuxfr repo can also be disable in this file by commenting (or deleting) the last 3 lines.

Use code tags not quote tags to post command output / text files

You have to uncomment the [multilib] part as well so that it reads

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

As for pointers on getting to build yaour by hand, and in general on using the AUR, read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository

Edit: Do NOT uncomment multilib-testing as well, if you aren't using testing you should not be using multilib-testing either
