Problem Installing base-devel

base-devel requires dependecies of gcc that I do not understand.

$ sudo pacman -S base-devel

Re: Problem Installing base-devel

Is your system up to date? (when was the last time you ran pacman -Syu?) gcc is currently at 4.9.0-3.

Re: Problem Installing base-devel

That you might be right and that is the problem. Sorry about that.
I am getting a problem with webcamoid during update. I will fix it and report back.

Re: Problem Installing base-devel

kdeplasma-applets-webcamoid is from the AUR and out of date.

Re: Problem Installing base-devel

error: failed retrieving file 'archlinuxfr.db' from repo.archlinux.fr ...

This suggests that you've been using yaourt - which is fine if you know what it is doing.  But the resulting errors and looking for the depencies with pacman suggests that you don't know what it is doing.  Use yaourt with caution (if at all).

As already indicated above you need to update your aur packages or (at least temporarily) remove that one.

Re: Problem Installing base-devel

knowNothing23, please read pacman's output:

:: Replace phonon-gstreamer with extra/phonon-qt4-gstreamer? [Y/n] y
:: Replace phonon-gstreamer with extra/phonon-qt5-gstreamer? [Y/n] y

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdeplasma-applets-webcamoid: requires phonon-gstreamer

You've just agreed to replace phonon-gstreamer ...

[jav@jav ~]$ sudo pacman -S phonon-gstreamer
error: target not found: phonon-gstreamer

... and now you want it back?

How long before you even updated your system ? I remember being asked to replace the Shared-color-profiles and kactivities a good few weeks ago

Re: Problem Installing base-devel

How about uninstalling the current GCC installing the older GCC then update again.

I think you missed a few posts. The problem is not GCC anymore (and never really was, partial upgrades were.)

Re: Problem Installing base-devel

Nevermind, It works. I just needed to do

 sudo pacman -Syu 

like someone said.

I had some trouble, so I did this first, before -Syu

 sudo pacman -Syy 

How often do I need to do an update(-Syu)?

At the very least once a week. Considering that Arch is constantly updating, probably more often than that.

Snap.
Ok. I will keep this in mind.

My main goal was to install ros-hydro* packages from yaourt.
I know that currently ros is experimental in arch, so the installation of ros-hydro* gives me a bunch of warnings about unsupported package. I guess it is ok.

Thank you all.

Can you post said warnings?
I'm not suing yaourt, so maybe it prints the warnings for all AUR packages.

I'm pretty sure 'Unsupported package' means it's from AUR, the Arch User Repository i.e. 'the unsupported' https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AU … pported.5D

I am fairly new to Arch and don't understand the implications of what you are saying.

Should I distrust this package?

it means that anyone can upload PKGBUILDs to the AUR, which can do anything. You should take a look at the PKGBUILD before using it, and you should be familiar with how the AUR works before using something like yaourt.
