Recent update not working

i did "pacman -Syu" after synching the repos, it says

libxfce4util conflicts wth libxfce4util-svn. Remove libxfce4util-svn? [Y/n] n
error: package conflicts detected

I have xfce4-svn NOT xfce4. So, I shall not remove libxfce4util-svn, right? Any answers.

It depends what you want to use. If you want to use the stable xfce4 from extra, remove all the xfce4-svn packages and install xfce4. If not, you should find out why pacman wants to install the xfce4 packages. Maybe there is some dependancy problem like a package that depends on libxfce4util. Post the full pacman output.

the stable xfce pkg in the repos are that of xfce 4.4 , released on Sunday ... it is effectively the stable of the svn release, so it's worthwhile replacing the svn with it, at least for a lil while.

@noriko, i agree with you that xfce 4.4 is same as xfce svn at the moment, but in a few weeks that would change and again I might be left with some broken dependencies, etc.

I accepted the changes suggested by pacman, i.e., libxfce4util-svn replaced by libxfce4util and exo-svn removed by exo. Here is what h0appened:

*breathes slowly to calm down*

Hello ravisghosh,

isn't it obvious to you what the problem is? On order to use XFCE 4.4 you need to remove each and every trace of XFCE-svn. If you do not do this, stuff gets broken. At this time, the 4.4-packages are of a higher version number than the svn-packages and they conflict with each other because they are intended to replace the svn-packages (it is not even clear if the svn-packages will survive the release of 4.4, IIRC) so it is your best bet to just install the stable version and be done with it.

Do a

pacman -Rs xfce-svn

and remove all traces of the svn-packages. Then do a

pacman -Sy xfce4

and be happy again.

Cheerful, as usual -- mucknert.
