"gcc: requires gcc-libs"

genusr · 2012-02-16 19:03:00

Pacman is acting up. Whenever I try to -S or -Syu, I get the following:

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-5

I think this means I need to install gcc-libs, but "pacman -S gcc-libs" results in a similar error. How can I get gcc-libs?
Thanks!

Update your mirrors and run

pacman -Syyu

I see that gcc and gcc-libs are version 4.6.2-7

If that's all you get, pacman is indeed acting up. But I think you are just giving partial info, which is not good if you want help.

Still, a guess: did you tell pacman to upgrade itself first? Try not to do that (because it keeps gcc at old version, which needs an older gcc-libs than the one that gets pulled in by the new pacman's dependencies).

Thanks, this is the full output:

I looked at a bunch of these, but non of the solutions worked for me. When I run

pacman -S pacman

Do you have package signing set up? What's the output of 'pacman -Q pacman'?

I get:

pacman -Q pacman
pacman 4.0.1-4

Is it possible that this is a problem with key permissions? When I run "pacman -Syy pacman" I get:

Did you run

pacman-key --init

when pacman 4 first installed?

Yes, I did. The pacman I have now is the one I installed off of the disk image. I can't reinstall pacman now because I get the key error.

Wrong link because

Please search before posting: this is in quite a few threads already...

I totally agree with next comment

However i also think that when posting an answer that recommends searching it should also contain links to the threads where the question is handeled.

I have no idea what you mean by that post.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1057709 has a link to [SOLVED] latest pacman upgrade - hoping for news update

I face the same problem today.
My solution is:
$ pacman -Syy # make sure mirror resync
$ pacman -S pacman # still get the same error
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-5

# this error means gcc-libs maybe removed later, but your gcc require it.
# because I only use gcc when 'makepkg', I could stand without gcc for a while,
pacman -Rddn gcc # force remove gcc
pacman -S pacman # now it workable
pacman -Su # upgrade world, because you have -Syy, so, we don't require -Syu again.
