[SOLVED] Pacman -Syu: installing libcap breaks dependency

amr962 · 2021-02-11 15:33:35

Hello, this my first post on this forum.

Running sudo pacman -Syu show this error:

:: installing libcap (2.48-1) breaks dependency 'libcap=2.47' required by lib32-libcap

I've found the same issue in the bugs section (it's from a while back): https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68964

What should I do about it? I have the 32bit version installed for a game to work on Arch.

If you have things installed from multilib, you can't just disable the repo and expect things to work.

I only have "multilib-testing" disabled, should I have it enabled as well?

It's working now, I wonder if it's because of my post

If it just started working without you changing anything, it sounds like a bad mirror. I would probably switch to a different one.

I was using the worldwide mirrors

  1 ##

  8 Server = http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
  9 Server = https://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

Should I be using different mirrors based on my location or are these fine?

The first one is really the only one that matters. evowise is usually pretty good, but something seems to have gone wrong in this case. Both libcap and lib32-libcap were updated in the repos at the same time, the mirror should have had neither or both, not one.

Actually, I have a bunch of 404 errors from evowise (for some packages) now that I've started the update, this is strange
