[SOLVED] all kde packages conflicting with same package[5]

mydaemon · 2024-01-05 22:40:17

Hi all,

It's been quite a while I've not had this kind of issue with Pacman in my laptop, maybe 2 years!

I've been using archlinux + KDE as my working laptop for 4 years now; I did couple of days ago a pacman sync, and since then I can't upgrade my system or install anything related to kde, since it's trying to force me to use equivalent extra/<package_name>5 packages, and then finds they are conflicting each other, asking me to replace the original one (not extra/<package_name>5).

If I say "Yes" to change all, and then replace, it crashes at the end of the long list, due to conflicts. If I say "No" to the first replacement, but "yes" to use all extra/*5 packages, it crashes at the very first. If I keep the original packages on upgrade, then it crashes on first package conflict.

```

I've cleared out the cache directory, and looked everywhere if I can avoid this happening. Open to suggestions!

Thanks for the tip on the BB code, it's been quite a time not using them!

Actually, I don't remind moving to kde-unstable; if I did, it was a looong time ago.

Yeah, as stated, I haven't upgraded for a bit of time, but actually not that far... I think it was mid-October the last time... but yes, it seems I'm having a similar party all over.

but probably icu73-bin
The warning is for bad style, but not critical.

Can you now update the system?

Yes, it's now updating!

Since I'm looking forward to move into plasma6 when it will be available, anything I should change in my system to avoid this kind of issues?

seth · 2024-01-06 22:42:14

mydaemon · 2024-01-07 00:28:35

I can confirm I've been able to fully update my system. I also cleaned out some of the existing packages I no longer use. Not bitrot around.

Thanks a lot for the help! I'll close the topic now.

I can't find a way to close it my own. Can I kindly ask a moderator to close it?

We don't close solved topics. Instead, we ask the original poster to mark the thread by editing the first post and adding [SOLVED] to the title. You might have to shorten the title to make it fit.

Please read "How to post" linked below.

Many thanks for the patience and the help, I've done so.

Scimmia · 2024-10-25 14:04:34

No, you have a completely different problem, likely because of partial updates, but possibly because it's a different distro. Is this SteamOS or Arch?

Edit: Silence is telling. You were here to give bad advice in another thread but didn't respond here?

ewaller · 2024-10-25 15:39:36

I tend to agree with Scimmia, this is not an Arch question. Closing and dust binning.

It has been pointed out I made an error in dust binning this thread. I agree. I am restoring it to Applications and Desktop Environments. Let me know if anyone has a better suggest as to subforum. I am going to leave it closed as it is an old thread. Again, if it needs to be re-opened, please let the moderators know.
