[SOLVED] wxgtk missing?

The output is half Spanish, but I think it's self explanatory. I tried to install gnuplot, but one of the dependencies, wxgtk, is missing, even in the repos.

# pacman -Syu gnuplot
:: Sincronizando las bases de datos de paquetes...
 core está actualizado
 extra está actualizado
 community está actualizado
:: Iniciando actualización completa del sistema...
resolviendo dependencias...
atención: no se pudo resolver "wxgtk", una dependencia de "gnuplot"
:: El siguiente paquete no se puede actualizar debido a dependencias que no se pudieron resolver:
      gnuplot
# pacman -Ss wxgtk
extra/mkvtoolnix-gtk 5.5.0-1
    Set of tools to create, edit and inspect Matroska files - wxGTK GUI
# WTF?

Re: [SOLVED] wxgtk missing?

That's strange... wxgtk is a real package in [extra]: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wxgtk/

Have you tried using another mirror?

... or try pacman -Syyu
followed by pacman -S gnuplot

Re: [SOLVED] wxgtk missing?

I'm using mirror.selfnet.de that according to the mirro status list is only 5 hours outdated.

I haven't tried with an other server. I simply updated with -U to the corresponding url in archlinux.org and then installed gnuplot.

Ewaller, that is what I did first (among other combinations).

Well... TRY IT!

If it doesn't work after trying many other mirrors, then I recommend creating a bug report at: https://bugs.archlinux.org/

If you are impatient, you can just download and install the package from here (x86_64): http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … /download/

If you read my last post just besides what you quoted:

With respect to trying it,

Well... TRY IT!

I can no longer do so because, as I said, I solved my problem by installing wxgtk from the web, therefore any search I'ld do will return a positive answer (eventhough if the package is not in the repositories). If I posted this is not because I seek help, but so other people are aware there is something going (wr)on(g).

Re: [SOLVED] wxgtk missing?

I'm very sorry. I completely misunderstood you.

When I got home last night, I tried installing wxgtk using "pacman -S". It worked. I think I use the mirror at rit.edu. The package is there: http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/extra/o … pkg.tar.xz I still think there's a problem with the mirror you use.

Anyway, I'm glad you were able to install gnuplot.
