[SOLVED] Dependency libalpm not found when installing pamac-aur

Lafriakh · 2019-02-17 13:35:07

Hello,

When I try to install pamac-aur I got an error that tell me I don't have libalpm dependency.
I run this command to install pamac-aur:

makepkg -s

And I got this message:

I think that libalpm is part of pacman, I did some research in google and I can't find anything about this issue.

Thank you,

Found pkg-config: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/pkg-config

What on earth is that? You are defaulting to "linuxbrew" binaries and dependencies rather than your system's native ones.

I used Homebrew to install some packages from there, is this can cause the problem?

Apparently. Why on earth would you use Homebrew on linux ... especially on arch linux?

Exactly what steps did you follow to use homebrew?

Lafriakh · 2019-02-17 13:54:15

Thank you Trilby for your help I removed the pkg-config from Homebrew and it's works.

I used it to install some packages from there. You can find it Here, they officially support Linux.

Trilby · 2019-02-17 14:21:44

That's a horrible guide to follow - you'll break all sorts of things.

Removing homebrew's pkg-config allowed you to build pamac, but now homebrew builds will likely fail and you have a bunch of other homebrew nonsense that will take precedence over your system binaries.

I doubt there'd be anything in homebrew that isn't already in the AUR - and even if there was, it'd be trivial to make a PKGBUILD for it.

I'd really not call this thread SOLVED as you merely brushed one symptom of horrible breakage under the rug, nothing was actually fixed.

Lafriakh · 2019-02-17 15:37:22

I remove Homebrew entirely, since it's added many dependencies that conflict with Arch Linux.

So, what I learned from this issue is Don't use two package manager at the same time.

Thank you again for your help,

Trilby · 2019-02-17 15:47:09

Well, technically there are safe ways to use multiple package managers. Many archers use pip for python stuff or gem (I think that's what it's called) for ruby. I recently started using tlmgr for my LaTeX tools.

But I can't imagine what benefit using homebrew on linux could possibly have. It is not domain specific and doesn't add a greater level of control than existing methods of installing source packages. But far more importantly than this, is that the instructions you followed to use Homebrew are just bad. It could be possible to use Homebrew safely in arch, but that tutorial is definitely not the way to do so.

EDIT: there are of course harmful ways of using pip, gem, or tlmgr. Any use of them as root using the same root filesystem will be a problem. You did not do this with homebrew, but the problem there was that it replaced countless core elements of a linux system with it's own, and placed those tools higher in your PATH.
