Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

I am thinking about trying this but first I have two questions:

1.) If I use the unstable KDE 4.4 packages, will I get KDE 4.4 final from Extra when it comes out? Will I have to disable anything to use the stable packages once they hit the official repos?

2.) Is there an easy way to downgrade back to KDE 4.3 if I end up hating it?

flamelab · 2010-01-11 01:44:45

1) Yes, that's pacman -Syu, when it passes to extra
2)Sync after commenting the unstable repos, and then pacman -Suu (double "u")

lkpgwada:

I have the same problem and i delete the ~/.kde or the ~/.kde4 you will lost your configuration first backup and restart session that work for me

jlacroix · 2010-01-11 04:19:33

Nevermind I figured out my questions. Maybe I should try longer before I post.

New issue. Whenever I go to update I get notified of a missing dependency, but I can't see any way of resolving it.

missing dependency for subversion : apr-util>=1.3.2-2

combuster · 2010-01-11 14:05:38

There is no way to resolve it imho. Nepomuk depends on soprano, wich depends on iodbc, I'm using kde from unstable repo and nepomuk is not working (unable to start) but I don't have soprano at all...

You should remove apr-utils and install apr-utils-iodbc from AUR. Search forums for a discussion of this problem - it was marked with [solved] and actually helped me

Thank you. I installed apr-utils-iodbc from AUR and was notified that I was missing a dependency (subversion) and tried to install it.

You should:

1. pacman -Rd apr-util

2. Download the PKGBUILD of apr-util-iodbc.

3. EDIT it and find the line which says "provides=(apr-util) and change it to "provides=(apr-util=VERSION)", where VERSION is the version of your package. It needs to be explicitly written otherwise it says apr-util is not installed. I have no idea why that is.

That did it. Thank you!

This is documented in both the pacman man page and the wiki.

It is a change implemented from pacman 3.x.

Provides array must contain a specific version in every entry, otherwise entries with no specific version are completely ignored.

Hey there... Not to sound too noobish, but I have spent allot of time using Kubuntu and am just coming back to Arch. However, I added the repo's that were stated

[kde-4.4-unstable]
Server = http://killa.watzke.cz/arch/kde-4.4-unstable/os/i686

[kde-unstable-extra]
Server = http://killa.watzke.cz/arch/kde-unstable-extra/os/i686

And do a pacman -Syu. It updates and no errors come up, but there are no updates. Its like my system has the latest already.

Is there a way to invoke the update to 4.4?

Thanks!!!

Joe

Make sure you added those new repos above the standard repos in pacman.conf. If pacman finds multiple versions of a package in different repositories (the KDE packages in extra and the KDE packages in the new repos you added), it will go with the repository listed first in pacman.conf.

If that's already the case for you, try pacman -Syyu (note the 2 y's).

sickill · 2010-01-12 14:45:24

And what about kdebindings-ruby? ProgDan, do you plan to include them in next updates?

Wonderfull!!! This worked without issue. Downloading new version now.

Thanks!!!

sickill: Ok, if it will compile, why not :-)

Joeman1 · 2010-01-12 18:21:55

Hey there... Got it up and running however, there were some apps that I had to recompile using ABS and update due to lib issues. Not a big deal as I already have quite an extensive library of ABS packages installed. Just to mention two in particular, Digikam and kipi plug-ins will need to be recompiled for the new libs in 4.4.

One problem I am having, however, is kontact now opens to a strange page that appears to be some kind of set up page. However, when I click to get past the welcome screen, nothing happens and I am left without all my apps.

Keep in mind, I can access each app independently, so Im not stuck, but are they redesigning kontact from the way we had it before?

Thanks!!!

Joe

ProgDan · 2010-01-12 18:31:09

Everything that heavily depends on kdelibs must be rebuild. There is quite a big difference between 4.3 and 4.4

Please, run Kontact from console, maybe it will reveal the problem.
