[SOLVED] Remove packages without damage

Hi,

I am trying to set up a calendar server.
And it's not going very wel.

This post is only for cleaning up the mess.

In the error log there was:

2024/03/03 13:41:34 [error] 2229#2229: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Early Exception: [0] Call to undefined function iconv() at /usr/share/awl/inc/AWLUtilities.php:569" while reading response header from upstream, client: my.local.ipv4.address, server: mail.example.com, request: "HEAD /caldav.php/davical_app/calendar/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock:", host: "mail.example.com"

I think I was too much focused on "undefined function iconv()"

After reading this (for example): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/538 … ch-manjaro
I thought I had to install the php82 from the AUR.

This was not very funny.

I had to install all these dependencies:

==> Missing dependencies:
  -> autoconf
  -> automake
  -> patchelf
  -> apache
  -> tidy
  -> aspell
  -> enchant
  -> libvoikko
  -> hspell
  -> hunspell
  -> nuspell
  -> aspell
  -> net-snmp
  -> c-client

And installing php82 was taking a lot time.
Sadly a lot of packages and it did not even solve the problem. For that, I think it has to be found in the php-fpm/php-fpm.sock config.
But here am I with "headless" computer with a lot of shit on it.

Long story, excuses, can you please say if it's safe to remove all those packages, including php82?

Re: [SOLVED] Remove packages without damage

Look up the -s flag for the -R operation in man pacman. It'll only remove dependencies that nothing else depends on. If you've installed them as explicit for some reason, pacman will complain if other packages depend on it.
