Dependency for emacs(solved--Auctex!)

lilsirecho · 2006-08-22 02:44:08

What package(s) have emacs as a dependency?

allucid · 2006-08-22 03:32:21

pacman -Qi emacs

(assuming you have it installed)

lilsirecho · 2006-08-22 03:43:11

AFAIK the suggested procedure will show dependencies which emacs has.

I have a problem wherein emacs is not listed in my machine but it shows up as a conflict with another package which is also not in my machine.

Therefore, some other program has this emacs package as a dependency, not the other way around. The other program is ctabs, which is not in my machine either.

When attempting to install a number of packages, this conflict occurs between these two packages which aren't in the list of packagesbeing installed.

Therefore, one of the many,many packages has to have an emacs package as a dependency for it.

Am I wrong?

No, it just means that ctags and emacs conflict -- they cannot be installed at the same time. The reason is that emacs provides ctags.
Probably you are trying to install a package depending on emacs and another depending on ctags and when trying to install them both they conflict.
Try installing emacs first, that should do the trick I think

lilsirecho · 2006-08-22 04:05:21

I do not want either of the programs in my computer.

I realize the conflict but cannot find the culprit that wants to install the emacs which is not in the list nor in my machine....

If that doesn't work, post the command you used with the error message.

The command is part of a script program for larch and it is installing a large number of packages via pacman (574MB) and the error message is ::::ctags conflicts with emacs. No packages were installed.....

Simple statement with no info as to what packages are calling for either of the conflicting packages which are not in the 574MB of packages to install.

Therefore, I need the packages which require the ctags and emacs as dependent packages so I can eliminate the conflict.

I do not need either of the packages installed unless they are dependencies for other packages. If I eliminate the offending package, I can continue loading the list of packages until I get another conflict, perhaps.

Here's what I get from an up-to-date ABS tree.

$ grep -R emacs /var/abs/ |grep depends
/var/abs/extra/editors/xemacs-sumo/PKGBUILD:depends=('xemacs')
/var/abs/extra/editors/xemacs-base/PKGBUILD:depends=('xemacs')
/var/abs/community/office/auctex/PKGBUILD:depends=('emacs' 'ghostscript' 'tetex' 'texinfo')
$ grep -R ctags  /var/abs/ |grep depends
/var/abs/extra/devel/source-highlight/PKGBUILD:depends=('gcc' 'bash' 'boost>=1.33.1-4' 'ctags')
/var/abs/extra/editors/vim-taglist/PKGBUILD:depends=(vim ctags)
/var/abs/community/devel/icomplete/PKGBUILD:depends=('ctags' 'vim-devel')

The problem probably comes from source-highlight and/or vim-taglist, unless you use community stuff for larch. I guess you're explicitely adding emacs to the iso as it's a popular editor.

lilsirecho · 2006-08-22 04:50:22

Snowman;

Was aware of the source-highlights tie-in and xemacs (not in my list) and the vim-taglist.

I am listing many from community but none of the above are included as primary packages.

I cannot eliminate vim because it is fixed in the larch program as a base package. Emacs appears nowhere in all of the packages so it has to be a dependent pkg for another package and I assumed it would be a devel package. Searched all devel packages for it and found no tie-in.

Mystery............................

It also shows what requires emacs. Look at the "Requied By" field.

allucid;

As you stated, [ assuming you have it installed ]. I do not have it installed(emacs) but some package has it as a dependency AFAICT.

Snowman · 2006-08-23 01:20:16

Do you use any custom packages, stuff from unsupported? Do you install pkgbuild-mode from unsupported? Auctex is the only package from current, extra, unstable, community that depends on emacs.

lilsirecho · 2006-08-23 01:40:06

Snowman;

Your reply is greatly appreciated.

I have no unsupported packages as far as I know and I am pleased that you found one with an emacs dependency. I have no custom packages either. Everything is a directdownload from pacman sources. No testing packages either. I will spend some time with auctex and see what comes of it.

Thanks!

You might melt if I praise you too much but thanks for the solution to my emacs problem

It worked like a charm to remove auctex!

I'm glad you got it figured out.
