ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies

333BlackOut · 2021-09-03 14:00:17

I am trying to install Transmission for downloading torrent files but terminal is showing this error. I am new to linux so i don't have much idea about it.
This is the error:

[x@BlackOut transmission-cli-git]$ makepkg -si
==> Making package: transmission-cli-git 3.00.r184.g59efe4642-1 (Fri Sep  3 19:25:06 2021)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
[sudo] password for x:
error: target not found: libutp
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> miniupnpc
  -> opendht
  -> libb64
  -> libutp
  -> libnatpmp
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

I am downloading it from official aur respository
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tran … n-cli-git/
What should I do ??

Admitedly, that error output could be much better, the way it's presented can make it appear as though pacman failed to install all those dependencies. But the relevant line is the less-well highlighted line with the first "error":

error: target not found: libutp

When pacman couldn't install *all* the dependencies in one go, it exited and makepkg then proceeded to report in a much more highlighted and colorful message that *all* dependencies were missing (even though just one couldn't be found). But the problem is just libutp: pacman can't install it if it's in the AUR. You need to install any AUR dependencies of AUR packages yourself manually.

So install libutp from the AUR just as you are trying to do with transmission-cli (but you could add the --asdeps flag to the makepkg call if you'd like), then rerun makepkg -si in the transmission-cli directory.

EDIT: it seems the relevant AUR package is libutp-git which provides "libutp" and will satisfy the dependency.

EDIT - SIDENOTE: as you get settled into the forums here, please have a look around at some of our guidelines on posting including the use of "bbcode" tags for which there is a link to under every post-creation box. While your post here was perfectly clear as the command output was short, we'd prefer to have commands and terminal outputs wrapped in [ code ] tags like I did with the error message I quoted above.

Sorry, I will keep that in mind.

It seems installing libutp-git really did work, but now I am getting a new error

You will, will you? Your last post definitely needs code tags for readability (not "color" tags or "ins" for highlighting). Please click the edit button on that post and add code tags.

EDIT: nvm, ewaller handed you a fish instead. We all have different views: give someone a fish, teach someone to fish ... I tend to slap people with the fish until learning happens

Now, on the actual error, please read the comments (at least the first one) on the AUR page for that package. This error, and an apparent solution, is clearly noted there.

Trilby beat me to it. I took the liberty of adding code tags to your post. You can use the edit function to see how it is done in the futute.

Sorry my mistake, I corrected the first one as the second one was corrected by Ewaller

Now, on the actual error, please read the comments (at least the first one) on the AUR page for that package. This error, and an apparent solution, is clearly noted there.

This was the first comment there;

Hello, please add provides=(transmission-cli) to the PKGBUILD, so transmission-cli could be easily re-installed by this package without breaking the dependencies.

I don't know if I did the right thing or not. Can you please check the code and if it's wrong please tell me what the correct code is.
The output via this code is this:

[x@BlackOut transmission-cli-git]$ makepkg provides=(transmission-cli) -si

I installed DHT package from aur as one of the error said that DHT is missing and Transmission is installed successfully.

[x@BlackOut ~]$ transmission-cli --version
transmission-cli 3.00+ (696b0bcab9)

But I am not able to find how to lauch it. Terminal shows it is installed but I have no way to launch it.
How can i add it to menu?

Raynman · 2021-09-03 17:13:52

I suspect you only get typical desktop stuff like menu entries when you install transmission-gtk or -qt. These are all in the official repos, btw. Any reason you went for the -git version from AUR?

I thought that's the only way i can download Transmission. I don't know if there is any other way of downloading it. Snap is also not correct for Transmission. By the way, if transmission is installed then how can I install my torrent files ??

EDIT:
Sorry thought you were asking something else. Well i downloaded transmission-cli-git because it had the most votes, and i felt if more people are using it the less problem i will get in.
Maybe I was wrong.

The package you installed seems to be a 'cli' or command-line interface version of transmission, which generally would be accessed from the terminal.

You could try installing the 'transmission-gtk' package from the Extra repository.

Thanks it worked.
I didn't knew cli means command line interface.

Thanks again.
