[SOLVED] Weird dependency issue with libreoffice-gnome

When attempting to install libreoffice-gnome I was getting the following error:

$ sudo pacman -S libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-en-US
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: poppler-glib: requires poppler=0.22.3

poppler 0.22.3 is no longer in the repositories (current version is 0.22.5). After installing poppler-glib manually (sudo pacman -S poppler-glib poppler) the command worked properly and libreoffice installed.

I have no idea why this happened. I guess I should submit a bug report (or did I do something wrong that I'm missing?)

EDIT: libreoffice doesn't actually start after that

Update your system.
Always update your system before installing new software.

As you can see, the current poppler-glib requires poppler=0.22.5 https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … pler-glib/

I suppose that explains things. Libreoffice still won't start, but I'll take that to a different, more appropriate forum if it still fails after a complete system update.
