[Solved] Conky and Dependencies

Hello everyone.

I noticed each time I do any system maintenance, conky stops working saying it's missing a dependency:

conky: error while loading shared libraries: libtoluapp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here's what I did exactly. First I removed orphan packages, using:

pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)

Then conky was broke with the error above. So I rebuild it from aur, it worked like a charm.

Removing orphans, this time using yaourt:

yaourt -Qtd

And conky was broke again. This time I reinstalled it using yaourt, and then tried to run the orphan check commands above, both of which had that library inside, so I canceled it.

What's happening here? Isn't the library in the dependencies? If so why does it remove it as an orphan? How can I prevent/fix this?

More info:

Dependency prompt during the installation:

I think this is an AUR issue.  Moving.

Re: [Solved] Conky and Dependencies

tolua++ looks to be a depend, not a makedepend. Tell the maintainer...

I contacted the maintainer, he said he'll update it by tonight.

Thank you

Re: [Solved] Conky and Dependencies

Yet another reason blindly removing package is a bad idea.
