pacman-color depends on pacman 3.2

panzeroceania · 2009-08-05 21:01:14

the title says it all, a user has to remove pacman-color in order to update to pacman 3.3.

EDIT 1:

hmm, I found that the AUR page on pacman-color has been updated and it says that it is compatible with the latest pacman 3.3 so I will try to install it again.

EDIT 2:

I double checked and when using yaourt, it still thinks that pacman-color depends on pacman 3.2

EDIT 3:

confirmed yaourt is up to date, still having the same problem.

EDIT 4:

via #archlinux IRC I discovered that my configuration of yaourt was the heart of the problem, more precisely my using the archlinuxfr repository which is now out of date rather than going straight to the AUR.

I have since remedied this though, and also found that there is someone developing another program similar in function to yaourt since it is no longer being maintained, see the comments section here for more details.

I also had a problem upgrading to the new pacman 3.3 due to pacman-color. What I did was remove pacman-color, reinstalled the latest from AUR, which also upgraded me to the latest pacman 3.3.0-2. Not sure if this was the best way to upgrade, but it worked

AUR issue, not a pacman or official repo > moving.

Hello banshee28!

I did the same, and it seems as working.

Now can work without any reinstallation.
