swapping package dependencies

I want to install the package ffmpeg-full from the AUR. however, this conflicts with ffmpeg. I can't uninstall ffmpeg as a lot of my packages depend on it.

is there a trick to just swap two packages when the existing one is a dependency?

thanks.

Re: swapping package dependencies

ffmpeg-full provides ffmpeg.  So you just install it - pacman will prompt you to remove the other which it will do in the same transaction, so all dependent packages will be fine.

Re: swapping package dependencies

as I install the dependencies for ffmpeg-full, this happens:

libopenmpt-svn and libopenmpt are in conflict. Remove libopenmpt? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing libopenmpt breaks dependency 'libopenmpt.so=0-64' required by mpd
 -> exit status 1

without uninstalling mpd and the many clients that depend on it, is there a way to proceed?

thanks.

Re: swapping package dependencies

Build packages in a clean chroot.

Re: swapping package dependencies

A chroot build will not really help here.  Mpd apparently has a versioned dependency which is the actual problem.  If mpd only dependended on libopenmpt you would not get this error as libopenmpt-svn provides libopenmpt - it just doesn't provided the specific version that mpd requires.

Depending on a specific version of a dependency (i.e, using = rather than just >=) is fairly rare, and I'd question if it is strictly necessary for mpd.  But as long as the mpd package has that requirement, you will not be able to install ffmpeg-full and mpd at the same time - even if you are able to build in a chroot.  You'll either need a build of mpd that can use the version of libopenmpt provided by libopenmpt-svn, or you'll need to remove mpd.  I doubt any other packages would have such a versioned dependency issue.

Re: swapping package dependencies

MPD doesn't depend on a specific version of libopenmpt, but rather on libopenmpt.so. The version is added during build, and is not specified in PKGBUILD:
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … GBUILD#L73
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#Dependencies

If the dependency name appears to be a library, e.g. depends=('libfoobar.so'), makepkg will try to find a binary that depends on the library in the built package and append the soname version needed by the binary.

It works with default libopenmpt package, because it specifies libopenmpt.so in provides:
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … GBUILD#L23

libopenmpt-svn on the other hand doesn't have the .so in provides:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … penmpt-svn

Adding libopenmpt.so to provides in libopenmpt-svn PKGBUILD should do the trick.

Edit:
This will work only if both packages produce the same version of the library; see the post below.

Re: swapping package dependencies

The so version has changed to libopenmpt.so=4-64 in the current libopenmpt-svn so mpd will still need to be rebuilt for the soname bump.
Edit:
Alternate approach,  replace libopenmpt-svn with libopenmpt in the ffmpeg-full PKGBUILD and see what happens.

Re: swapping package dependencies

I tried the advice and this happens

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: ffmpeg-full and ffmpeg are in conflict

What was the command?  Were you not intending to replace ffmpeg with ffmpeg-full?  What was the rest of the output?

Re: swapping package dependencies

the command was

 yay -S ffmpeg-full

when I try, and say "y" when asked to replace ffmpeg with ffmpeg-full,  I am told I can not because ffmpeg
is required by other packages.

I want to swap ffmpeg with ffmpeg-full.

Re: swapping package dependencies

ffmpeg-full provides ffmpeg. Don't use AUR helpers, use makepkg and post the complete output instead of paraphrasing.
