archboot upgrade fails

pasmen · 2008-07-09 18:02:36

Hi,

this is my system update/upgrade session:

[pasmen@nyx ~]$ su -c 'pacman -Syu'
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 unstable is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace iwlwifi with core/kernel26? [Y/n] n
:: Replace rt2x00-cvs with core/kernel26? [Y/n] n
warning: bittorrent: local (5.0.6-3) is newer than extra (5.0.6-2)
resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "mkbootcd>=2008.03-1", a dependency of "archboot"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: archboot: requires mkbootcd>=2008.03-1

Anyone knows when mkbootcd 2008.03-1 is available? I hope i would be able to replace those iwlwifi and rt2x00-cvs with kernel26. Those are dependencies of archboot 2007.11-2 now.

Thanks

Looks like it updated in extra a couple days ago with a different version numbering system, while testing has 2008.03-1. So I'd guess it will show up soon or archboot will get updated, or if you're in a hurry you could try pulling the package from testing.

Why not just uninstall archboot. We don't use it anymore and tpowa hasn't been around to update things. archboot was bumped because the original package had a dep on itself, which was silly.

True, I've just done that. Anyway, what is the replacement for archboot now?

Well, first off you don't need these installed - they are tools used to build our installer ISOs, and unless you're building ISOs, they may be useless. The new ISOs use the 'archiso' package, however
