QT testing and kdemod conflict

Can't upgrade because of qt4 want's to upgrade too qt-testing. It won't work, even if I say yes or no.

If I say no to remove qt-enhanced :

:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace qt4 with testing/qt? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies... done.
looking for inter-conflicts... 
:: qt conflicts with qt-enhanced. Remove qt-enhanced? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: qt: conflicts with qt-enhanced

looking for inter-conflicts... 
:: qt conflicts with qt-enhanced. Remove qt-enhanced? [Y/n] y
done.
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: qt-enhanced requires icewm-utils
:: qt-enhanced requires ksplash-engine-moodin
:: qt-enhanced requires opera-devel
:: qt-enhanced requires yapg
:: qt-enhanced requires kdemod-arts
:: qt-enhanced requires kdemod-kdelibs

If I say yes to remove qt-enhanced :

What is the pacman command to skip the qt upgrade?

Re: QT testing and kdemod conflict

it looks like a bug in qt4 package, isn't it?

Re: QT testing and kdemod conflict

kdemod is not an official archlinux project. u should tell its developers about this. im sure they will solve it soon anyway

Re: QT testing and kdemod conflict

hmmmm yeah things are amuck w/ testing w/ qt.

I am having problems too..

I had to ignore all qt pkgs

pacman -Syu --ignore qt4 --ignore qt3 --ignore dbus-qt3 --ignore pyqt --ignore qca --ignore qca-tls --ignore qscintilla

Could just do a pacman -Syudf but not in the mood:-)

Re: QT testing and kdemod conflict

As far as I understand, the the packages in testing are meant to rename things: qt -> qt3; qt4 -> qt. The trouble is of course that all the packages that depend on qt3 have the dependency recorded as "qt" and not "qt3", so I don't understand how could this NOT break dependencies...

EDIT: I think somebody reported this on the kdemod forums, and got shoo-ed off that kdemod isn't supposed to work alongside testing; and that they fix things when this qt change goes to extra. http://kdemod.ath.cx/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=310

Re: QT testing and kdemod conflict

Which qt4 apps are you using? I was only using skype so I removed it and installed skype-staticqt. then I did a pacman -Syu and it did not request to upgrade qt leaving qt-enhanced alone.

Is this why pacman -Syu now gives me:

warning: qt: local (4.3.2-2) is newer than extra (3.3.8-5)
local database is up to date

?

Oh, and ktorrent won't start. This is what I get when I start ktorrent from terminal:

$ ktorrent
ktorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Same problem applies for dolphin and k3b.

These apps worked fine just recently. I used dolphin earlier "on this boot". But I'm unable to launch it after this upgrade.

I'm not using kdemod. It seems to me like the qt4 upgrade broke qt3. And thus broke much of kde.

pacman -S extra/qt community/qt4

Solved it for me.
