klibc again? what is going on?

kralyk · 2010-02-18 15:24:35

I did usual pacman -Syu today,
but pacman asked about replacing core/mkinitcpio with a bunch of klibc* packages.
According to http://archlinux.me/brain0/2010/02/13/e … rch-linux/, we should have got rid of klibc, or did I misunderstand?

Moreover, those klibc* packages can not be found in the web database here: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort … =&limit=50.

Im not going to update until I understand what this all means, can someone please clarify this situation to me? Thank you

This should not happen. Make sure you are using up-to-date mirrors, pacman -Syy, and pacman -Syu. If it still happens, paste the -Syu output here.

can you post your output? it should say something like:

:: Replace klibc with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-extras with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-kbd with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-module-init-tools with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-udev with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]

i.e., mkinitcpio is replacing klibc.

pacman -Syy didnt do the trick.
Here's the output of pacman -Syu:

$> LANG=en_EN.UTF-8 pacman -Syu

Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade? [Y/n] n
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: network-manager-applet: requires networkmanager>=0.7.998

Im ignoring dhclient and networkmanager, because new versions didnt work like 3 weeks ago. Maybe the newest versions would now work. Anyway, I believe this should not affect the update of mkinitcpio.

EDIT:
Oh I can see the problem now. In my localization, the translation of expression "Replace A with B" is IMO ambigous. (Or maybe its just me.)

Ok, Im glad this is soloved now...

You can safely say Y to all those replacements: http://www.archlinux.org/news/486/ . Trying another mirror should fix the networkmanager issue.

I'm having the same issue:

Any ideas on how I can get it to upgrade? Thanks.

that's a different issue: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=91020
