[SOLVED] How to remove testing repositories?

860lacov · 2022-10-03 06:14:53

I wanted to test new KDE Plasma so I tried with kde unstable + arch testing repos.

I wanted to rollback as in:
Disabling testing repositories

But when I do pacman -Syuu I get:

Looks like some packages have been split in testing. You can probably do...

pacman -R pipewire-audio ruby-racc
pacman -Syuu

If the -R does not work due to dependency issues, you can add a "-dd" to ignore these.

Mod note: Moving to Testing.

After metasploit removal, I was able to easily remove ruby (it was removed with metasploit).
But pipewire-audio is requied by pipewire-pulse, pipewire-pulse is required by plasma applet and some other packages. And those packages require another packages.

Thank you, but I'll probably wait on testing. It is working. It's stable. I'm not sure how -dd will end, so I don't want to risk.
But still. Thank you.

There really isn't any risk if used as specified (i.e., given you complete the downgrade right after). You could ease your own mind by double-checking right after that with the following

pacman -Qqn | pacman -S -

This will "reinstall" all packages and if there are any missing dependencies (there wouldn't / shouldn't be) they'd be pulled back in. But again, if you only use -Rdd specific to [testing] this would be unneeded.

I'll try next time.

I did pacman -Rsn pipewire-audio pipewire-pulse plasma-pa
And after that I was able to do pacman -Syuu

I had to install pipewire, but it seems that it works.
