[SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

Dear fellas,

Since yesterday, pacman/yaourt started to show this message while trying to update:

warning: package-query: ignoring package downgrade (1.10-1 => 1.9-3)
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'dmxproto' required by libdmx
:: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'xf86dgaproto' required by libxxf86dga
==> upgrading SVN/CVS/HG/GIT package

Is there any workaround in order to fix this issue?

Thanks

Workaround of fix:

the 'xorgproto' package.

After update just

$ pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qqtd)

Re: [SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

I have the same problem. I see the change was made 15 hours ago so I gues there's some dependency that has not updated somewhere. I've worked around it by downloading the package from the archive and sticking it in a local repo I maintain for such work arounds. Until it's fixed...

I did install libdmx-1.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and still I have the same:

:: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'dmxproto' required by libdmx
:: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'xf86dgaproto' required by libxxf86dga

I wonder if the error is related to dmxproto amd xf86dgaproto instead..

Re: [SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

You installed libdmx 1.1.4-1 which depends on dmxproto which xorgproto 2019.2-2 does not provide.

I received the update from arch-announce with a manual intervention:

when updating, use: `pacman -Rdd libdmx libxxf86dga && pacman -Syu` to perform the upgrade. After the update it will be safe to also remove
the 'xorgproto' package.

Re: [SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

Despite this thread being "[SOLVED]", I'm still having issues. 

Moderators, If I need to start a new thread, please advise.  Nonetheless, the notice states:

  After the update it will be safe to also remove the 'xorgproto' package.

Upon running:

 pacman -R xorgproto

I am met with:

 removing xorgproto breaks dependency 'xorgproto' required by xorg-server-devel

Should I proceed with removing "xorg-server-devel"?

Thanks.

Because that's exactly what we need for pacman. A package with highest priority (handled first) that does nothing else but print critical announcements.

I've done this without problems. Three packages were removed (incl. xorg-server-devel).

sudo pacman -Runsc xorgproto

Re: [SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

I did exactly as directed

'pacman -Rdd libdmx libxxf86dga && pacman -Syu

' only to get the message:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'xf86miscproto' required by libxxf86misc

I removed 'libxxf86misc' as the other two packages was removed, and it allowed me to update.

I don't know if this was right or not, but I did a full update, removed 'xorgproto' and attempted to install 'libxxf86misc' again, but of course there were dependency problems.
Unless anyone states otherwise, I'll just assume everything is in order.


I am a philosopher, of sorts, not a troll or an imbecile.
My apologies that this is not always obvious, despite my best efforts.

Re: [SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

Why did you install libxxf86misc again? Is it necessarily ? Does xorg proto became orphan ? So I think pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq) will delete it .

Re: [SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

I hit the same issue, after running "fix" command and trying to update system got

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency 'xf86miscproto' required by libxxf86misc

Dependency little-hell forced to remove `light-locker` package, and then updating and at the end could install `light-locker` again.

I advice to not run this command at all. It tried to remove almost 800 packages from my system (~7 GB). Not sure if trolling or casual misleading.

Found much the same.

I used 'pacman -Rdd xorgproto' without issue.

If it's any comfort this is the bug report for this issue. It might shed light to those managing dependencies.

Re: [SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

I read the bug report and I still have a question. Why do they install a new version of xorgproto, then tell you it's ok to delete it, immediately?

I'm not sure exactly why it is installed. A leftover from Antergos I presume. I haven't yet had time to reinstall.

Good question. My guess is xorgproto is required to rebuild packages that won't be needing it in subsequent updates by other means of updating them.
It's a pure guess, however.

Doh! I wish I'd seen this thread an hour ago. I manually fixed the upgrade. This would have been so much easier.

This one worked for me:

Then I have proceeded making updates as usual.

Re: [SOLVED] xorgproto issues..

As this problem and its solution are now front-page news (and this topic is marked [SOLVED]) I am closing it.


How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.
