[Solved] Can't update because of nexuiz?

xerxes_ · 2020-11-23 22:04:00

I have now that error when I want to update:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing libjpeg-turbo (2.0.6-1) breaks dependency 'libjpeg>=8' required by nexuiz

What to do now? How to satisfy dependencies?

I know that nexuiz is now removed from main repo, but I want to keep it as possible.

Rebuild nexuiz locally from https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-c … k/PKGBUILD
Edit:
You could also try asking for libjpeg-turbo to have its provides changed from libjpeg to libjpeg=8 although long term you will still need to start building the package locally.
Edit2:
Fixed link

nexuiz-git is in aur. Remove the old package and try that one.

But whats wrong with libjpeg version?

See my edit to post #2.

What do you mean what's wrong with it? And what's nexuiz? You've apparently installed a package with that name but it is not in the repos or the AUR.

EDIT: nevermind, found it. It used to be in the repos, but was removed and apparently not dropped to thre AUR or has since been removed from the AUR.

~~FYI loqs, your link is a 404~~

@Trilby thanks for the information, hopefully it works now.

Trilby · 2020-11-23 23:11:23

Yup, thanks. xerxes_, it the package can be rebuilt against libjpeg-turbo, then you could change the dependency from libjpeg>=8 to libjpeg.so>=8 as libjpeg-turbo provides that - or just get rid of the versioned dependency all together because any new implementation that provides libjpeg should certainly provide an equivalent greater than or equal to 8, so the version criteria in the dependency isn't really informative anymore.

xerxes_ · 2020-11-23 23:15:23

What it means "libjpeg>=8" ? This is different version or what?

It means nexuiz has a dependency on libjpeg>=8 which is not met by any package. libjpeg was replaced by libjpeg-turbo which has a provides entry for libjpeg.
However as I mentioned in my edit to post #2 providing libjpeg does not fulfill libjpeg>=8, the provides would need to be libjpeg=8 or some other version that was greater than or equal to 8.
