pacman will not install Midori

Is this a bug, or is there an easy way to get the older versions of the dependencies?

[root@Ath mherring]# pacman -Sy
...
[root@Ath mherring]# pacman -S midori

Re: pacman will not install Midori

please run a full update. gcc is at 4.4.2 already for a long time. maybe your mirror is out of sync. and always do a full -Syu before you install new packages.

Re: pacman will not install Midori

Indeed your mirror is kinda of out date. Looks here for one up-to-date :

Re: pacman will not install Midori

Ummm, yes, but:
Midori is looking for **older** versions

And--just checked with pacman -Q: gcc-libs is at 4.4.1-1, which is what Midori is looking for.....

I know that I should do a full update, but this kind of issue is the exception and not the rule.......

you are interpreting wrong.

some package that depend of midori want to update gcc-libs to the latest, but it can't because gcc need gcc-libs 4.4.1-1

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

No, in Arch not upgrading the entire system and hoping things still work is the exception.

Re: pacman will not install Midori

Thanks for all the replies.  Yes, I do see the logic of always upgrading first.  I simply have not had this kind of issue before.

I did successfully install Midori on another system.
