Arch: "orange" dependencies problem

mibadt · 2015-06-28 08:23:37

Hi,
During my recent full system upgrade (pacman -Syu) of my Arch/XFCE-based latop, pacman failed due to unsatisfied "orange" dependencies.
I've removed that package, successfully upgraded my system and rebooted without problem.
Afterwards, while trying to reinstall "orange" I still get the dependency error (see below):

1. Do I need that package in the first place (my systems works fine)? If Y, for what (Android tablet synchronization?)
2. If needed, how do I solve the problem? (pacman can't find synce-libsynce)

Thanks!

No idea about what orange does and whether you need it or not, but please open a bug report about the missing dependency

If you don't use it you can safely live without orange. The missing dependency is listed as virtual. More information on that here,
So file a bug report.
A short search led me here. You could try to build a package from source and install it manually while waiting for the package to be added to the repos.

It seems that synce-libsynce was merged into/replaced by the package synce-core but the line

provides=('synce-libsynce' 'synce-librapi')

has been recently removed from its PKGBUILD https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … 13e24c644c.

I filed a bug report on the Archlinux Bug Tracker: FS#45491

Fixed: orange 0.4-7.

Please see if it works now and, is so, remember to mark the thread as [Solved]
