libdownload and search depend

Hossie · 2009-08-11 08:53:06

Hi,

I'm more or less new to Archlinux, but not new to Linux. I have several Archlinux setups, which all of them throw this "error":

/ # yaourt -Syu --aur
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 archlinuxfr is up to date
==> Searching for new version on AUR
icinga: up to date
libdbi: up to date
libdownload: not found on AUR
nagios-nrpe: up to date
nagios-nrpe-plugin: up to date
nagios-plugins: up to date
Checking the integrity of the local database in /var/lib/pacman/

I don't know what pulled in libdownload. So from my experience, I would say, ask the packet management what depends on "libdownload" and then remove libdownload and/or the packages or ask for an updated package.

But I searched and searched and found no solution on how to query for "what depends on X". Is this not possible?

Also, when querying for orphaned packages, I don't get libdownload:

xxx / # yaourt -Qdt --aur
xxx / # yaourt -Qdt
xxx / #

What can I do?

You can remove libdownload. It would have been installed as part of the "base" group during your installation. Now pacman uses libfetch instead so it is no longer needed.

libdownload should at least show up in pacman -Qt (packages that are not required by any others)
pacman -Qt | grep libdownload or just pacman -Qt libdownload

This is the same as doing : pacman -Qi libdownload and checking that Required by is empty.

btw libdowload was a dependency of pacman but it has been replaced by libfetch, so it can be removed now

Ok thanks, I removed libdownload now. Thanks for the explanation of pacman -Qi libdownload.
