WINE, GLIBC & System upgrade problems - SOLVED

Java Wong · 2023-11-13 00:45:03

When i run "winecfg" this is what I get:

wine: could not load ntdll.so: /usr/lib32/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /usr/bin/../lib32/wine/i386-unix/ntdll.so)

I tried updating glibc but I'd get:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing glibc (2.38-7) breaks dependency 'glibc=2.37' required by lib32-glibc

I want to try downgrading wine but i'm not sure which version will support that version of glibc.

I tried doing a "sudo pacman -Syu" but i'd get too many KDE dependency conflicts so I decided to solve that problem later.

I really just need my wine to work, preferably the latest version but if downgrading it is the only way then please explain how.

You can't "solve that problem later" The only way forward is a full system upgrade, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Get rid of your foreign packages that are blocking the update.

Alright when I do "sudo pacman -Syu"...
this is the output:

When i try to update these packages individually some I'd get "target not found" error and sure enough when I check the arch package databases online they aren't there.
Others I'd get a dependency chain error where updating one would break dependencies for other packages.
e.g: output for "sudo pacman -S kio5"

My package databases are up to date, my mirrors are up to date and my package cache is cleared.
What could be the problem?

I said remove the foreign packages, the ones that are not in the repos and are requiring the old packages. Read the errors carefully, they are very clear as to what's blocking the removal of the packages that have been renamed.

Java Wong · 2023-11-13 02:55:28

I understand....

I can see which ones are foreign packages blocking the removal.

But I still have some questions:

1. What if some of these packages/dependencies are citrical to my system?

2. Just to be absolutely sure, please give an example of what to remove from what I provided.

pacman -Qh # lookout for "m", correlate that w/ the above

And please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

Then you're eg. still using a floppy drive and we pity you.
Edit: more seriously, if you're otherwise using AUR packages that conflict, you'll simply have to rebuild them after maybe a temporary removal to resolve a conflict.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Just to recap the steps before I proceed...
1. Identify foreign packages with

pacman -Qh package_name

2. Remove them. Most are KDE packages and their dependencies, so not system critical.
3. Do system upgrade "sudo pacman -Syu"

That should fix my wine and glibc.

seth · 2023-11-13 16:32:49

pacman -Qh package_name

Maybe try just "pacman -Qh" by itself first.

Scimmia · 2023-11-13 17:50:01

Read. The. Errors.

For instance, "removing kxmlgui breaks dependency 'kxmlgui' required by kfloppy"

kxmlgui is getting replaced by kxmlgui5, but you cut this information off. Pacman then says that it can't remove kxmlgui...because it's required by...?

Java Wong · 2023-11-15 01:10:49

Thanks everyone!
All issues have been successfully solved!

Just a recap on what I did in case anyone else encounters the same problem...

1.

sudo pacman -Syu

to identify conflicting packages.

2.

pacman -Qm

to list foreign packages (not in official repos thus non system critical) cross check and identify packages from step 1 that are stopping the upgrade.

3.

sudo pacman -Rns package1 package2...

to remove the packages.

4. Now you can perform a system upgrade "sudo pacman -Syu"

5. Reboot after upgrade.
