system upgrade asks to upgrade unwanted packages-unable to upgrade now

ravisghosh · 2007-06-12 13:32:06

I do not have xfce4-svn packages installed (i do have xfce4 though), but when I do a pacman -Syu it gives me a list of packages to upgrade which apart from other packages also includes the following libxfce4util-svn, libxfce4mcs-svn, libxfcegui4-svn, xfcalendar-svn. On selecting Y to upgrade, it downloads and then gives error that "xxx files" already exist and hence system cannot be upgraded. Any guesses why it is upgrading packages that are not installed at all.

no idea why these packages are being installed, you will have to check dependencies of all concerned packages.
About the conflicting files, it seems like all these -svn packages are missing conflict statement for their equivalent non svn package.

pacman -Si libxfce4util-svn                                                                                                               ~

It should have "Conflicts with : libxfce4util"
What's weird, is that the PKGBUILD correctly has "conflicts=('libxfce4util')" :
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … cvs-markup

And it hasn't been recently updated, it's 8 weeks old.

This was reported here : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7338

Not only the PKGBUILD are correct, but the packages built from it too. Apparently, the mistake is only in the community database itself (community.db.tar.gz).

Well now, this is a problem in the PKGBUILD
For example, libxfce4util-svn conflicts with libxfce4util, but doesn't provide it.
If one package conflict with another without providing it (and no other package provide it), this is not going to work.
All xfce4-svn PKGBUILD need to be fixed to have both conflicts and provides.
Report a bug.

That is not a problem. They MUST NOT provide the stable xfce packages, as they are likely to be incompatible.

Oops sorry, I didn't expect that.

ravisghosh, do you currently have a mix of svn and non svn xfce4 packages ?

ravisghosh · 2007-06-20 12:45:33

I earlier had xfce4-svn, but after it was not being maintained, i moved to xfce4 and I do not have those *-svn packages installed at all, but still pacman wants to upgrade them.

Are you sure you cleaned them all ? At least, I do not have this problem (I've xfce4 installed, but never installed any -svn packages).
Try pacman -Qs svn maybe, if they all had the -svn suffix ?

Thanks shining, got the clue from Pacman -Qs svn. There was a package xfcalendar-svn. Removed that and did pacman -Syu. Its fine now. but the packages I mentioned earlier were not there at all nor did have xfcalendar dependencies of those.

It depends on libxfce4mcs-svn and libxfcegui4-svn, which in turn depend on libxfce4util-svn.
