[SOLVED] Dependency loop

finferflu · 2008-07-09 12:00:33

:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
:: poppler requires installing fontconfig from IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] y
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: fontconfig conflicts with fontconfig-lcd. Remove fontconfig-lcd? [Y/n] y
:: freetype2 conflicts with freetype2-lcd_. Remove freetype2-lcd_? [Y/n] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: cairo-lcd: requires fontconfig-lcd>=2.5.0

How would you proceed?
I would like to keep all my lcd packages, but at the same time I would like to upgrade poppler. I tried to ignore "fontconfig", but it's not possible to upgrade without it. Do I need to track down the poppler PKGBUILD and edit its dependencies? So far it seems the only feasible solution...

Rebuild poppler yourself to depend on the -lcd packages. Just a thought.

I guess you could also uninstall the -lcd packages, update, and then reinstall the -lcd packages.

Yes, so editing the poppler PKGBUILD seems like the most feasible solution for you as well...

ignore dependencies with -d

Ah, a pretty simple solution. I wonder if the new poppler requires certain versions of the dependencies. If so, it might install the update but break all packages that depend on poppler.

Let us know how it turns out.

IMHO, in order to avoid this issue a poppler-lcd package should be make in AUR.

fontconfig-lcd should provide/replace/conflict 'fontconfig=${pkgver}'. Then you wouldn't have this problem...

As a matter of fact, it does:

pkgname=fontconfig-lcd
_realname=fontconfig
pkgver=2.5.0
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="A library for configuring and customizing font access (with custom LCD filter)."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.fontconfig.org/release/"
license=('custom')
depends=('expat>=2.0' 'freetype2>=2.2.1')
provides=('fontconfig=2.5.0')
conflicts=('fontconfig')

<snip>

EDIT:
Ah! I just notice the "replaces" entry is missing. Perhaps that's where the problem resides. I'll add that and see how it goes.

Thanks

DOUBLEDIT:
Well, I've tried, but I still get that dependency loop... Could it be because the fontconfig package in the official repo is more updated than the on in the AUR? Gotta check that...

TRIPLEDIT:
Sorry for keeping doing this, but I got the problem: poppler depends on fontconfig 2.6.0, but the one in the AUR is 2.5.0. So I'll have to update that one.

Thanks for your help guys
