[SOLVED] "glibc-eac" package install fails.

I wish to install "glibc-eac" or "glibc-eac-bin" from the AUR as I require them to play some EAC games.

both packages build just fine however once finally in the process of installing them I am prompted to remove the original glibc:
"glibc-eac-bin-2.40-1 and glibc-2.40+r16+gaa533d58ff-2 are in conflict. Remove glibc?"

To which I agree. However, the install fails immediately after, with the message:
"error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)"
":: removing glibc breaks dependency 'glibc=2.40+r16+gaa533d58ff' required by lib32-glibc"

The program then exits with exit status 1

I should note that I use a AUR helper for this process. (Yay)

You need to install lib32-glibc-eac as well and in the same transaction.

Re: [SOLVED] "glibc-eac" package install fails.

Build with makepkg -s instead of yay . DO NOT add the i parameter

After building has finished, run ls on the build folder .

You should see 3 files ending with pkg.tar.zst  : glibc-eac, lib32-glibc-eac , glibc-eac-locales

Try installing the glibc-eac & lib32-glib-eac pkg.tar.zst files in one command using pacman -U .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [SOLVED] "glibc-eac" package install fails.

Thank you all for the quick answer. Manually building the package and installing both lib32-glibc-eac and glibc-eac in one command with pacman -U installed both packages without issue.
