Re: [Solved]error mate desktop install

freak07, try updating your system before installing. Otherwise, remove the conflicting packages.

Re: [Solved]error mate desktop install

You should never refresh the packages list without upgrading your system, so run, as runical suggested, 'pacman -Syu mate mate-extra'.

Re: [Solved]error mate desktop install

Then try updating first, installing second. And otherwise, follow the advice I gave earlier.

Re: [Solved]error mate desktop install

I can confirm there is some issue with the latest MATE in the repos, specifically checking the version of mate-settings-daemon (or perhaps the version checking of mate-control-center and mate-session-manager for mate-settings-daemon). I already have MATE installed, and here is the output:

> sudo pacman -Syu

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

This issue still exists if in a fresh install mate and mate-extra are installed.

Re: [Solved]error mate desktop install

I was able to reproduce the problem.

Since mate-media-pulseaudio and mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio are not required by any package, it should be unproblematic to remove them from list.
To do this:

pacman -S $(pacman -Sgq mate mate-extra | grep -vE 'mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio|mate-media-pulseaudio') 

This is, however, not the true solution, since according to the info about the -pulseaudio packages states that they are intended to replace the others.

Edit 0: Since mate-media is also not required by nothing, you could probably replace it by the pulseaudio version.
Edit 1: Therefore it is important to use ^ and $ with grep, because it would else exclude both mate-media{,pulseaudio}.

Re: [Solved]error mate desktop install

According to the mailing list, there was a bug report [1] on this problem. It seems that the fact that the old packages were still in the repos resulted in this mess. These have been removed now, so can anyone confirm that this has been solved (or not)?

Re: [Solved]error mate desktop install

'pacman - Si' shows that the -pulseaudio packages have been removed from the group, as well as from the repository (see bug report).
Subsequently 'pacman -S' does not complain, at least not before having to actually install the packages (I do not use mate).

It somehow seems strange that according to the (not longer existing) package info of the -pulseaudio packages they were intended to replace the others.
But that probably was wrong or at least outdated.
