[solved]git not found on the server

PhotonX · 2008-08-20 08:14:10

Hello, guys!

I'm new to Arch so sorry if I don't understand simple things immediately. I'm trying to install Compiz-Git from AUR with Yaourt. One of its dependencies is git of course. But yaourt tries to install git-1.5.6.5-1 and doesn't find the file on the server. But as I can see there is git-1.6.0-1 on the server which isn't seen by Pacman or Yaourt: http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.arc … os/x86_64/ Maybe there is an outdated entry somewhere pointing to an old file? How can I fix this?

Thanks,
PhotonX

You need to update you package database. The pacman command for this is "pacman -Sy".

yaourt recommends to review/edit the PKGBUILDs. you should just do that and change the dependency to the new git version

Ah, so simple... Big thanks, this was the worm. Always forgetting such things...
@Andy: I have looked at the PKGBUILD but there was just "git" as dependency, not specifying the version.

It only depends on "git", as it should. No particular version.
It was just a -Sy problem as Allan said

Sorry, another question: When I install multiple packages via Yaourt after the first succesfully installed package it doesn't continue with the next one but tries to install the first one again. Where is the problem? I enter the package numbers with spaces inbetween like "1 3 7" as requiered.

Best to open a new thread for a new problem. Also "no-one" will look because it is marked solved.

Ok, I'll make it like this.

edit: Strange, I can't reproduce it any more. I'll ask about it if it happens again...
