[Solved] Recurring dependency

Hello forum,

I'm sorry for some of mine dumb questions, I'm getting rusty to look for a solution, Please bear with me.

I installed a package that brought several dependencies. So for a full upgrade every time I have to ignore the two breaking dependencies.

 ::Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing libheif (1.16.2-1) breaks dependency 'libheif=1.16.1' required by lib32-libheif
:: installing rav1e (0.6.6-1) breaks dependency 'rav1e=0.6.3' required by lib32-rav1e

# to overcome the impediment I give the following command 

$ pikaur -Syu --ignore libheif,rav1e

I suppose that I should remove the package that I wanted to use, but I can't recall what was originally, Perhaps is all about Wine.
As I'll remove the offending dependencies I presume I will be able to correct the faulty loop.

Any guide much appreciated.

Re: [Solved] Recurring dependency

We just finished a major upgrade as to how things are packaged.  Those using non standard Pacman configurations may need to update those configurations.  As you seem to be using lib32, I wager this is applicable to you.
Have you read and implemented https://archlinux.org/news/git-migration-completed/  ?
If you need help, please post your unabridged /etc/pacman.conf

Re: [Solved] Recurring dependency

This usually happens because you disabled the multilib repo. You can't disable it while still having packages installed from it.

edit: Neither of those lib32 packages seem to be in the multilib repo, though, so this is likely a matter of cleanup. See pacman -Qdt to start with.

Re: [Solved] Recurring dependency

Or, based on what Scimmia says, you did make the change to pacman.conf, but missed the lib 32.

Re: [Solved] Recurring dependency

lib32-rav1e and lib32-libheif are AUR packages. Remove them, update your system, and then rebuild them (or leave them uninstalled if you no longer need them).

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues

Re: [Solved] Recurring dependency

lib32-rav1e and lib32-libheif are AUR packages. Remove them, update your system

Snippet of pacman.conf

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

I found the reasonable solution by removing those 32bit libraries. I'll check later what may be affected from their lack.

Is admirable your great support, thank you very much

Re: [Solved] Recurring dependency

Looks like you haven't adjusted your pacman.conf to the new git repo setup yet, see the link ewaller posted in #2 for details.

Thank you for the point. I should keep an eye on the new coming configuration often.
