Pacmanpackage query yaourt issue going on for me.

neckbeards% install yaourt

warning: cannot resolve "pacman<4.2", a dependency of "package-query"

Not sure on the fix for this. I had this issue with testing. But I disabled testing and now have this. I did notice a recent pacman update. Sorry if a repost. Still no answer found for me. thanks

~~Clearly you haven't done this properly. Pacman 4.2 is still in testing.~~
Oops. I see it was *just* moved to core.

EDIT: What is this "install" command? I figured this was a wrapper to makepkg. But that's clearly not using the PKGBUILDs currently in the AUR. This issue existed while pacman 4.2 was in testing, but the PKGBUILDs have been updated.

That's just my alias for sudo pacman -S

Pacman can't install packages from the AUR. If you are using that unofficial repo that tries to break archlinux systems, feel free to report the bug to them. Or just stop using it. Also please be sure to mention when you are using unoffical repos.

The fix is simple though: install these properly from the AUR.

EDIT: Antsunrise - I'm sorry for my tone in this thread, it is not really what it should be. I have issues with the archlinux.fr repo, but this should not be directed at new members to these forums. So please accept my appologies for the tone. But the message is the same: my recommendation would be to remove that repo and actually learn about how to use the AUR effectively. The AUR wiki page can help.

Hmm alright. I'll just lurk other threads with the same issue. thanks.

okay understood. no problems. I'll look into it in the morning about to get some sleep for now. thanks for info. I've only been using arch for a few months. so i'm not the best with it yet

I'd like to point out that

$ which install
/usr/bin/install

so don't forget 'install' is an alias on your computer.

Apart from what Trilby wrote, there are other AUR helpers besides yaourt, you might want to "shop around".

last time i tried, a couple of weeks ago, yaourt itself wouldn't build with the current pacman version. yaourt-git and packagequery-git worked fine though. properly installed from their AUR packages, of course.

I "solved" this by
pacman -R yaourt package-query
pacman -Syyu
pacman-db-upgrade

"solved" under quotes because now pacman works but yaourt is gone. I will try packer instead today, hopefully this works better.

package-query-1.5.2 is out now (this morning). All good now.

speedyx · 2014-12-29 09:05:17

Yes, after update package-query all works well.

antsunrise · 2014-12-29 14:22:58

Hey guys. Just woke up. Problem solved on update. I guess the repo children fixed it all. thanks for help and replies.

There is no need for that. Now that package-query is updated, all you need to do is update (reinstall) it via yaourt:

yaourt -S package-query

After doing that pacman -Syyu will work fine.

Scimmia · 2014-12-29 16:40:10

But then you still have to rebuild package-query manually after the update.

Congrats. Please mark the thread as [SOLVED]. Directions on how to do so are here. Thanks.

cavalierejody · 2014-12-29 18:22:16

I had the same problem... and solved it using the procedure above. Thanks.
My question now is: what is the "right" way to upgrade pacman the next time?

The right way to upgrade an archlinux system has and always will be `pacman -Syu`.

The problem here is not pacman, but one or more of the following: the yaourt-affiliated packages, the archlinux.fr repo, and most importantly users who remain willfully ignorant of what they are doing by relying far to heavily on the first two items on this list.

QFT. Closing.
