libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

Hi everyone, this is happening now while trying to upgrade the system, it seems that the package was updated some minutes ago (at the time of writing): https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … play-info/

I cannot submit bug reports as I still don't have an Archlinux SSO account.

Are you facing the same issue?

It breaks gamescope and wlroots on my system.
It looks like gamescope upstream doesn't support libdisplay-info 0.2.0 yet. I don't know about wlroots it may just need a rebuild.

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

<EDIT>
WORKAROUND (for both X11 and Wayland sessions, obviously):
downgrade libdisplay-info:

# pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libdisplay-info/libdisplay-info-0.1.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

<\EDIT>
Also Plasma is affected (see <EDIT> above):

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

Ran into this today after upgrading. Managed to work around it by creating a symlink and rebooting.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdisplay-info.so /usr/lib/libdisplay-info.so.1

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

I was unable to login because GNOME shell started with a crash screen on boot.
Downgrading libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1 -> 0.1.1-3) solved the problem and GNOME starts without issue again.

I'll create an issue upstream, but I really didn't understand what is going on here.
What I see during boot is:

Symlinking like this is a terrible idea, and is highly likely to cause issues at some point. There are incompatibilities between so versions, and if a package does not provide a specific so version, it's because there are incompatibilities, or in rare cases a packaging bug.

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

One of you(?) reported the gamescope issue on GitHub in case someone wants to follow it: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1390

How can I resolve this? Just pause updating until a fix in gamescope is released? Uninstalling and living without gamescope is not an option …

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

Currently in the issue it seems like gamescope does support compiling against 0.2.0, so if that’s true we just need a rebuild landing in the repos.

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

Also happens with extra/gamescope, or is extra repo also considered unsupported?

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

A fix is being prepared , see https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … -/issues/3

For those who can't wait : apply the changes to the PKGBUILD for gamescope-git and it should work.

Agreed, was simply a temporary workaround to get my desktop working again until this got fixed

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

Someone above says this is now fixed.

But not for me.  For a long time now, I cannot update libdisplay-info and because of that I cannot update wlroots-nvidia.

 installing libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64' required by wlroots-nvidia

Elsewhere Raku-cat has proposed one workaround for wlroots-nvidia, but it seems to me the libdisplay-info piece of the puzzle should really come first.(?)

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

The fixes refer to mutter and gamescope, wlroots-nvidia is an AUR package and you'll have to first and foremost rebuild that against the new libdisplay-info and that *seems* to requrie the patch in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wlro … ent-978383

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

Yes I understand I'll still need that patch for wlroots-nvidia to work.  I just thought it's relevant that the same dependency issue mentioned for gamescope etc. here also applies to the AUR package.

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

It applies everytime to everything that has a versioned dependency on something.
The difference is that previously a bunch of repo packages weren't properly updated (that's what got fixed) whereas AUR package maintainance (rebuilds for updates or dependency changes) is always your responsibility (and compatibility, patches etc. are that of the AUR package maintainer)
The problem has never been libdisplay-info, but dependent packages tracking the update and in that sense any AUR package will never get "fixed", excpt by its users rebuilding the package.

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

I registered just for this.

I have downgraded the package

pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libdisplay-info/libdisplay-info-0.1.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst][url=https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libdisplay-info/libdisplay-info-0.1.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst]https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libdisplay-info/libdisplay-info-0.1.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst`

I try to update and get

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64' required by hyprland-git`

I can log in via tty but through "ly" login manager, I cannot get into hyprland or any other desktop.

Re: libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1) breaks dependency 'libdisplay-info.so=1-64'

Right, force reinstall of wlroots did the trick and install of libdisplay-info (0.2.0-1).  After that I was able to install hyprland from arch repo.

What do you mean by "force reinstall of wlroots"?
