Dependency conflict

Hi,

I was trying to upgrade my system today. Its X86_64 and DE is KDEmod.

Now a new package, kdemod-parted had appeared and it conflicts with parted. So I said yes to the question whether you should remove parted. There lies the problem. devicekit-disks: requires parted>=1.9.0-3. So it simply quits. What should I do?

Re: Dependency conflict

It's a kdemod issue, so you should ask on their forum.

Also, you should use a thread title that summarises the issue you're asking about - "dependency conflict" is too generic.

Re: Dependency conflict

@absolutevoid: I had to downgrade gparted to version 1.8.8 since 1.9.0 don't support swap partitions. Since I released a new development release of our chakra-live-cds I needed a working kde environment. Since devicekit-disks is a gnome dependency (gnome-disk-utility) only no kdemod packages got conflicted by this change. parted it self is used by those programs:

    * archboot (not used by chakra)
    * devicekit-disks (gnome dep)
    * gparted (gnome dep)
    * partitionmanager (replaced by kdemod-partitionmanager)

You can solve it by using those pkgs:

sudo pacman -R kdemod-partitionmanager kdemod-parted
sudo pacman -Sy partitionmanager parted
