Can't update gnome-shell-extensions-common

bwat47 · 2012-01-31 18:18:28

I get this strange issue when updating today:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: gnome-shell-extension-user-theme and gnome-shell-extensions-common are in conflict. Remove gnome-shell-extensions-common? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnome-shell-extension-alternative-status-menu: requires gnome-shell-extensions-common
:: gnome-shell-extension-places-menu: requires gnome-shell-extensions-common
[brandon@brandon-arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S gnome-shell-extensions-common
error: target not found: gnome-shell-extensions-common

It seems the package has been removed from the repos, what the heck?
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … ns-common/
404 not found.

Showing user-theme as the only package in extra?

looks like the idea is to shift to extensions.gnome.org:
commit

You can remove all but user-theme and reinstall from extension.gnome.org.

edit: link fix

ugh, I've had trouble with that site. In firefox I click install, it goes through and says it installed the extension and it doesn't actually install it at all.

edit: well the site seems to work properly now at least, thanks. I do understand the decision to move over there, but it would be nice if we get a heads up for this sort of thing

I am having the same issue. I'm not sure how to apply the fix you mention. Can you elaborate?

I had to remove all the extensions I currently had installed from the repos (including user-theme even though its still there) and gnome-shell-extensions common. Then I did pacman -S gnome-shell-extension-user-theme and it installed fine. After that I got the rest of the extensions from here:

https://extensions.gnome.org/

Note that this site currently only works in firefox. Find the extension you want and toggle the switch to on, it then asks if you want to install the extension.

Seems to work fine for me in Chromium 16.0.912.77.

gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet-git from AUR no longer works with the update and it's not on extensions.gnome.org

The one that show up in the lower left is but I'm talking about the one that is in the upper panel.

I am not sure what extensions I Have installed. I don't think I installed any out of the default, though I did recently install cinnamon.

how can I tell what needs to be removed?

If you don't run into any trouble when running an update you should be fine. If you do pacman should tell you which packages are causing the issue.

What if i want to install system-wide? Do i have to login with each user, visit extensions.gnome.org and install everything?

Perhaps sometime someone will come up with a way to install Gnome extensions with pacman in a manner that extensions.gnome.org will think you have those extensions installed.
