[SOLVED] python-mistune and python-mistune1 are in conflict

xerxes_ · 2022-08-28 18:45:11

When doing full system update by 'pacman -Syu' I have 2 packages in conflict:

python-mistune and python-mistune1 are in conflict. Remove python-mistune1? [y/N]

Should I answer Yes (but big N suggest No) ?

Depends.

python-mistune1 is a legacy version of python-mistune, still in repos because community/m2r, community/pcbdraw and community/python-flasgger explicitly require that old version.

If you have one of those packages or any other package that requires specifically python-mistune1, you can’t replace it. To find out, what on your system depends on a given package, you may use pactree from the community/pacman-contrib package:

pactree -r python-mistune1

For each package you have installed and is reported by pactree, see if it depends on python-mistune (any of it) or python-mistune1. If it accepts any python-mistune, replacement is fine. An alternative, quickier, but a bit dirtier way is to remove each package that depends on python-mistune1 with --recursive (-s) option and after all of them are removed and python-mistune1 is no longer present, reinstall each of the packages. If they need python-mistune1, they will pull it. If not, they will accept python-mistune.

Just answer 'y'. If anything requires that old version, pacman will error and and tell you.

I think about dirty way or about removing m2r and python-docutils.

OK, I may see what wise pacman would tell me.

scimmia: pacman will indeed prevent them from breaking anything, even if they answer ‘y’, if the packages installed explicitly require python-mistune1. Or at least make a warning if that’s an optdepends. That is the case for packages in the official repos. The same can’t be assured for foreign packages or unofficial repos, which may indicate only python-mistune as their dependency. Hence I offered the longer way, which will clearly tell them where they stand.

I removed m2r package and system update was possible. After that m2r package can't be installed because of conflict between python-mistune1 and python-mistune.

Yes, m2r requires old mistune.
