[Solved] Conflicting conflicts (and dependencies)

grndrush · 2008-12-28 13:12:04

Attempting to update an AMD x86_64 system this morning:

 07:55 Sun Dec 28
[root@arch64://~]# pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: bluez-libs conflicts with bluez. Remove bluez? [Y/n] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnokii: requires bluez>=4.1

 07:55 Sun Dec 28
[root@arch64://~]# pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: bluez-libs conflicts with bluez. Remove bluez? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: bluez-libs: conflicts with bluez

I run LxDE and KDE3 (brand new install).
I'm dead in the water, of course. My system's running fine, but pacman updates are borked here ATM.

answer yes and remove gnokii before and be sure that you have refresh your database. pacman -Syu

Have you refreshed (-Sy) your pacman database recently? I checked on my system, and gnokii depends on bluez-libs (I'm assuming this is the correct behavior).

I did a pacman -Syy *right before* the bash display above. Trying to strive for brevity.
I'm very current - the only packages I *expected* to be upgraded were the kernel and klibc-udev. I was current otherwise as of 6 AM this morning. No idea where this is coming from.

FWIW, I use KDE3 as my primary D/E. It was installed after LXDE, but I didn't remove LXDE.

gnokii is required by kde3-kdepim, so we're talking a good 100 MB of disk trashing. If I have to remove and reinstall both (although the latter IS optional, I guess...).

gnokii in [testing] is built against bluez. I'd do

pacman -Rd bluez gnokii
pacman -S --asdep extra/gnokii
pacman -Su --ignore gnokii

and then add gnokii to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf until blues in [testing] gets sorted out.

Thanks. Sounds like a short-term problem - I guess I'll wait until gnokii hits extra. My system is running fine; I can install packages by name. There IS a feature being released with 2.6.28 I'm hot on...hope the wait's not too long.

kde3-kdepim is required by about 1/2 of KDE3 (and I have a thing about NOT doing pacman -Rd's...). Removing it cleanly won't be easy. Well, there's always pacman -Rcsu kde3, I guess. It would come close.

And I just looked at my little box and noticed I registered here 5 years ago today (less than a week before my first Arch install - ver 0.4 ?). Happy birthday to me.

Any progress on this one yet? I still have a bluez problem but with pilot-link.

Thanks guys .. ok .. have updated now!

Hope these bluez guys get their act together. Seems like it causing probs for many.
