Cannot upgrade due to dependencies on a package in Testing speexdsp

cmagnuson · 2015-02-13 03:51:38

I tried to run sudo pacman -Syu and get the following:

Looking at speex I can see that speexdsp is a dependency but it has (testing) after its name and seems to live in a testing repository:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/speex/
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … /speexdsp/

I then tried to get more clever than I really am an tired to remove speex:

[cmagnuson@node1 ~]$ sudo pacman -R speex
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg: requires speex
:: libshout: requires speex
:: pulseaudio: requires speex

After this I though to myself that something has to be wrong as there is it doesn't make sense to me that ffmpeg would depend on speex normally so I thought maybe I have installed something via AUR that did this so if I manually remove speex that might help.

Following this train of thought I ran:

[cmagnuson@node1 ~]$ sudo pacman -Rdd speex
:: alsa-plugins optionally requires speex: libspeexdsp resampling plugin
:: xmms2 optionally requires speex: Speex support
Packages (1) speex-1.2rc1-4

Now when I try to upgrade again I get errors indicating that both speex and speexdsp is missing:

[cmagnuson@node1 ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu

At this point I found a post that tells you how to enable the testing repository but comes with some strong warnings that make me think this is a one way trip and I don't really want to have to depend on the testing repo.

I don't know what I did to cause myself to get into this situation and now I am pretty sure that I am possibly making it worse.

Anyone have some insight on what I should do?

I don't know what is going on but I just saw that the page for speex and speexdsp has just been updated as I was writing my post and now no longer shows that speexdsp it is in testing.

Tried to run sudo pacman -Syu again just in case something is being fixed currently but it still failed with the same output as the last run of it above.

You hit the repositories at a bad time. You'll have to wait until your mirror refreshes the package list.

Looks like there is some package updating going on. Give it a little bit and try again. I'm getting the same error but I expect it'll be resolved shortly.

Thank you both, your absolutely right. I just ran it again and it is now starting the upgrade. Thank you!
