[Solved] Anyone Else Having Issues Updating Due to ffmpeg Depedency?

jlacroix · 2010-01-19 03:36:52

Hello everyone. When I try to do "pacman -Syu" I get the following:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: sox: requires ffmpeg>=20100108
:: transcode: requires ffmpeg>=20100108
:: xine-lib: requires ffmpeg>=20100108

It's been like this for several days and I just left it alone because I figured there were dependencies that were needed that haven't been uploaded yet. However, I am not getting that message on my desktop and both have the same mirrors set up so I don't understand the difference.

Has anyone else had this issue and may know how to solve it?

Make sure your mirror hasn't gone out of sync and possibly try `pacman -Syyu'.

Thank you. I did as you asked and this is what happened:

My sources are as follows:

Server = http://archlinux.umflint.edu/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://lug.mtu.edu/archlinux/ftpfull/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/ArchLinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.umoss.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

Nevermind, I removed the umflint repo, I thought Pacman would automatically use whatever one is the most up to date. I guess not. It seems to be okay now. :)

Pacman grabs the package list from the first available repo, no matter if it's the most up to date or not.
