[solved] Cannot replace system-config-printer

alexk · 2009-09-06 03:16:10

I got this today:

$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace system-config-printer with extra/system-config-printer-common? [Y/n] 
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "pysmbc>=1.0.6-2", a dependency of "system-config-printer-common"
warning: cannot resolve "pysmbc>=1.0.6-2", a dependency of "system-config-printer-common"
:: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      system-config-printer-common  system-config-printer-gnome  

Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade? [Y/n] 
looking for inter-conflicts...
 local database is up to date

Any idea what could be wrong?

I'm having the same issue. It's been occurring for over 12 hours now, any idea what it going on?

My guess is that the mirror I'm using is still not synced. Will wait and try again in a few hours.

I've tried the most updated mirrors, and still nothing. Seems like the required dependency simply hasn't been included yet.

Someone already filed a bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16046

Are you on x64?

Same issue... it seems like it is just not available yet.

Good to hear a bug report has been filed. Yes, I'm on x64.

That must be it then, the pysmbc package (which is required by system-config-printer-common) is only available for i686.

You are correct. There is only an i686 version of the pysmbc package right now.

Appears to be fixed (at 10 GMT).
Just did a successful update on a recently synced server.
