gstreamer0.10-good-plugins is no longer in the repos. Fix or remove your AUR stuff.

I'm glad the maintainers keep an eye on such things. Thanks for getting rid of unmaintained code!

@simeon that link doesn't seem to provide relevant information, did you mean https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 28638.html ?

Hi!
I have the same problem, but I don't get what the solution you propose is. Is it uninstalling all packages that depend on gstreamer0.10-good-plugins and reinstalling them after update?

Re: gstreamer-10-good-plugins : libsoup 2.58.0-1 breaks dependancy(SOLVED)

No, it's by either getting rid of gstreamer0.10 completely (it's old and unmaintained, not much actually uses it), or by fixing the gstreamer0.10 packages so they depend on packages that actually exist.

You can run into the above error without ever having touched the AUR.
`Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues` would be a better place for this.

The package is no longer in the official repos, therefore it is an AUR issue.

Re: gstreamer-10-good-plugins : libsoup 2.58.0-1 breaks dependancy(SOLVED)

arch user for many years and this is the first time i've had to spend so long chasing down a dependency, so i include my fix if it helps anyone.

gstreamer0.10-good-plugins was a dependency of farstream-0.1, so couldn't be removed.  no idea where farstream-0.1 came from but i also had the main farstream package from the repo's.

pacman -Rsd farstream-0.1  /*NOT farstream*/
pacman -Rsd gstreamer0.10-good-plugins

fixed this issue for me, and removing wxgtk2.8/wxpython2.8 allowed me to remove gstreamer0.10 fully

I know that I'm not officially running Arch Linux (Antergos) on this particular machine - I do have a long running pure Arch setup on another machine, however - but I wanted to post and say that this did fix it for me as well. Hope this solution helps others, as the steps in the AUR comments and even above here didn't work for me until this. Thanks for the find alu1!

Re: gstreamer-10-good-plugins : libsoup 2.58.0-1 breaks dependancy(SOLVED)

I have the same issue and honestly I don't really remember why I installed it.
If we remove this package, which one could replace it ?
Ty

EDIT : I removed it, I installed it explicitly. Let's see...
I'm gonna watch out aur comments

EDIT2 :
From aur :

Edit the PKGBUILD. Change pkgrel= from 27 to 28. Change the makedepends= and depends= entries 'libsoup-gnome' to 'libsoup'. This way building gstreamer0.10-good and gstreamer0.10-good-plugins works, it also resolves the dependency issue, but I didn't test if it still works big_smile.

You mean you endorse breaking things for good? There was no reason why maintainers should have removed the provides:libsoup-gnome dependency. It was just for the sake of "formal correctness" and caused nothing but problems.

The fact that no officially supported package depended on it is a perfectly valid reason.
