Dependency issue

ok_computer · 2009-07-11 11:06:19

I just started to use Arch and i am so impressed!

I get the following problem:

sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 kde-unstable is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace phonon with kde-unstable/qt? [Y/n] y
warning: libjpeg: local (7-1) is newer than extra (6b-6)
warning: libtiff: local (3.8.2-5) is newer than extra (3.8.2-4)
resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "libmng>=1.0.10-2", a dependency of "qt"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: qt: requires libmng>=1.0.10-2

Any suggestions what should I do?

Thank you

Why do you use kde-unstable without testing? That wont work.

I wanted to have kde4.3 RC without destabilising the whole system.

Can I downgrade the whole system without kde-unstable?

Thanks for the quick answer!

Look on the bright side - official release date of KDE 4.3 is 27th July. Not that long a wait now, is it?

You are absolutely right!

Should I delete the rep kde-unstable and then somehow downgrade all the packages to the other three rep?

For what it is worth - I've had testing enabled for a while 'cos I was trying something out, forgot about it and realised about two months later that it was still there I just commented it out and let the others play catch-up. So far no adverse effects.

Hmm, perhaps I should go unstable.

Do the majority of the people do that?

ok_computer · 2009-07-11 11:56:21

If add the testing and the end of all repos,will this solve the issue?

Testing should be above the others, or you will likely have problems.

Should be good to go if you have testing and kde unstable.

before I used the KDE4.3 repo from http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66117&p=6

and I didn't need to use the testing repo at all. (Maybe it's not related, but it was working much better than the current KDE unstable which is getting very slow after a while.)

I think I can wait until the 27th July...
