[SOLVED]update problems:libcanberra

frank1962 · 2021-06-08 16:27:14

During an update of Discover, I can't update from "0.30+2+gc0620e4-3" to "0.30+2+gc0620e4-4".

The error message is "Risoluzione della dipendenza non riuscita 0.30+2+gc0620e4-3"

Can anyone help me please ?

Start by using pacman, not Discover. If you need to post error messages, prepend the command with LC_ALL=C

After doing what Scimmia asked for, please also install community/pacman-contrib and provide the output of each of those commands:

$ pactree -r libcanberra-gstreamer
$ pactree -r libcanberra-pulse

libcanberra-gstreamer does not exist anymore. It was removed in commit and leftover package prevents upgrades. You need to uninstall libcanberra-gstreamer before upgrading.

my answer must be Y, right?

V1del · 2021-06-09 06:46:01

Yes. General rule of thumb, if a change has happened deliberately and intentionally, pacman will preselect the Y option, if a replacement would happen due to packaging conflicts the preselected option would be N, if unsure pick whatever pacman preselects.

I had some issues with the last update of libcanberra, multimedia apps did not work properly after that update (like Spotify, I was unable to let songs start or I had sound issues with VLC); did someone have the same problems?

V1del · 2021-06-09 08:43:33

Very unlikely to impossible. libcanberra is for desktop/theme beeps and irrelevant for actual audio output (and the change in question here is purely cosmetic packaging simplification with no actual end user effect) and will definitely not be used for core playback features of these respective applications. The big ALSA bump to 1.2.5 is much more likely to have an effect here on specific setups, did you read pacman's warning to restart audio using applications after the alsa-lib update and did you do that? Does the "had" imply you restarted in the meantime and the issue vanished? If it did then, the conclusion would be that this was due to the alsa-lib breakage, which pacman will have told you about, take to heart to read pacman's output. It doesn't often show things you need to check, but if it does you need to make sure you've read that.

Yes, I did what pacman suggested about alsa-lib update and I restarted pipewire etc etc
I thought the problem was related to libcanberra because when I tried to reload my previous snapshoot in order to re-update the system, I tried to update everithing except libcanberra I and solved my problem.....a mystery!

V1del · 2021-06-09 11:58:04

I don't see an universe where there is a relation between that issue and libcanberra. Was your audio device occupied by something else during that? sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* to check. But that is a bit off-topic. FWIW I don't use spotify but no issues with VLC (... and VLC doesn't even link to canberra) on an updated system *shrug*

@frank1964 If your question is answered and the issue solved, please mark it as such by editing and prepending [SOLVED] or so to the title.

And this has no relation to libcanberra. If you want help there I suggest you open a new thread and mark this as [SOLVED]

I also observed issues with 'libcanberra-0.30+2+gc0620e4-4' which are cured by a downgrade to '-3'. Let's move this to this (already existing) thread.

@V1del, @Scimmia, @mpan: Would you also be so kind to have a look at that?
