Pacman desn't want to update because of dependencies

Primoz · 2009-12-07 13:04:09

This isn't the first time this has happened, but last time I've solved it (and I can solve it in the same manner this time).
I'm just amazed, that this is constantly happening...

I don't know is it the mirrors that I use, or something else, but always something is a miss.

Currently I get this error while upgrading:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
:: vhba-module: requires kernel26<2.6.32

before that it was klibc-kbd and this one dependency prevents me from updating my system.
It's a bit annoying. I have always hunt which dependency isn't satisfied and etc...

One more thing about current issue. Pacman says that vhba-module needs Kernel26<2.6.23, and I have 2.6.31.
That's not even the problem (well other that I do have testing repositories enabled, so I should have the newest packages).
The real problem is that in Shaman when I choose it to show just packages for updating it doesn't show vhba-module among them...

So I really don't know what's happening with my pacman or mirrors that I use...
It's just strange.

Please help.

next time use search feature.

Sorry. I did search few days ago, didn't find it...
I guess it has been added sine then.

OK I got a bit fed up with my constant "stupid" questions. But I still didn't get thing working properly..
I still can't update klibc-kbd.
I searched it with pacman -Q klibc-kbd, and it can't find it... But Shaman says it's upgradeable...
I've double, triple checked if I don't have it in holdpkg or don't upgrade....

klibc-kbd is in core:

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/klibc-kbd/

Try changing mirrors.

Still nothing... btw I use 64bit not 32...
What's the site where you can check the mirrors? I saw it once, but forgot to bookmark it. That would help me solving this "puzzle"...

Thanks!
It seems that mirror that I use is synced and all..
But when I try to install klibc-kbd I get this:

pacman -U ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/x86_64/klibc-kbd-1.15.20080312-10-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

loading package data...
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: klibc-kbd: requires klibc-UqSadMgryalzKq_XarP9XnQvbXQ

Something is wrong with dependencies of klibc-kbd...

Finally I solved this. I just had to forcefully install klibc-kbd and all was good again.
