[Solved] pacman kdebase-workspace dependencies not satisfyable

Soukyuu · 2015-03-22 01:17:45

KDE arbitarly defines several filesystems as "slow" and hardcodes this decision in kio/kio/kfileitem.cpp. I decided to turn it off and always return false (=fast file system). After checking out the PKGBUILD via ABS, I have made a patch and changed the PKGBUILD accordingly.

Patching and compiling went fine, install went fine as well. I then thought I should change the name to something non-default to differentiate the package from the official one. So I've added the "provides=('kdelibs')" and "conflicts=('kdelibs')" lines, built the package and tried to install it.

Pacman errors out with

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdebase-workspace: requires kdelibs>=4.11.17

Here is the modified PKGBUILD

edit: I probably should have posted this in the AUR section...

What the hell? How could it have installed the official 4.14.6-1 version, when it requires kdelibs>=4.11.17? Why does it not install my modified package unless I keep the official name?

Why is that surprising, 4.14 is greater than 4.11, so the requirement is met by the official package. ~~As to why yours doesn't work, you'd have to share the PKGBUILD that you are using.~~ (edit: you editted while I was posting)

What is the specific pacman command that gives that error?

Yes, sorry. I realized I was misreading the version numbers, so the issue is probably with my usage of provides and conflicts...

The command that gives that error is both "makepkg -i" or "sudo pacman -U kdelibs-no-fs-check-4.14.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz"

provides=('kdelibs') won't do the job, since it has no version information. You need provides=("kdelibs=$pkgver")

Soukyuu · 2015-03-22 11:59:42

Yes, that was it. Thanks.
I guess I expected it to get the version info from $pkgver.
