[solved] giflib misses libungif?

I am using xplanet long time, but now it seems something wrong:

sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for kaputtnik: 
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: xplanet: requires libungif

A package libungif does'nt exist. I figured out, that libungif  has to be in the package giflib, and the information shows me that as well:

pacman -Qi giflib
Name           : giflib
Version        : 5.0.4-2
[...]
Provides       : libungif=5.0.4
[...]
Required By    : gdal  kdelibs  libwebp  xplanet
[...]
Build Date     : Tue Jul 30 10:55:09 2013
Install Date   : Thu Aug 1 18:56:56 2013
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
Install Script : No
Validated By   : Signature

I found libungif in package lib32-giflib, but i didn't need it before.

For me it seems to be a packaging issue. What to do? Write a Bug-Report against xplanet or against giflib? Or something else :-)

The new giflib you're about to install doesn't provide libungif.

Maybe the servers haven't synced yet, so they don't have the new xplanet (that doesn't need libungif). Wait a couple hour and try again.

Re: [solved] giflib misses libungif?

Ah, i misunderstoud the output from pacman. I thought, that xplanet want to be updatet, not giflib. So i searched for xplanet and found a new version.

But with your hint, it seems to be clear:

pacman -Ss giflib
extra/giflib 5.0.5-1 [Installiert: 5.0.4-2]
    A library for reading and writing gif images

There is a new version of giflib on the server, but none new version of xplanet:

pacman -Ss xplanet
community/xplanet 1.3.0-3 [Installiert]
    An Xearth wannabe

Thanks for clearing :-)

Re: [solved] giflib misses libungif?

I'm having a similar problem:

$ sudo pacman -Su                                    
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: advi: requires libungif

It seems that the libungif package was removed from AUR, the problem is that now I can't use upgrade nor install new packages...

Had to remove everything that depended on libungif to be able to install giflib, but it's solved, thanks!

Re: [solved] giflib misses libungif?

I don't think there ever was an libungif package in the AUR, giflib used to provide libungif, now it doesn't.
You need to tell the maintainer that he needs to adjust the PKGBUILD https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/advi/

In the meantime, do it yourself, recompile advi and reinstall.
