Re: Replace kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers?

:-|  Very funny, dhave...

Actually, that was kind of funny. The last time I tried something like this, my refrigerator settings went all out of whack.

Thanks for the info.

UPDATE:

I pressed 'Y' and did the upgrade. I shut off my computer and restarted it without any problems whatsoever. Thank you very much for the help.

Best regards.

Re: Replace kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers?

Did anyone have any problems with pressing 'Y' on this? Did it work? Did it tank?

When I pressed "Y", my credit card was immediately charged $5,000 US. I'm working with the credit card company right now to try to recover at least some of the cash.

Same bug here

Re: Replace kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers?

pacman -Syu
pacman -S openbox obconf
resolving dependecies...
warning: provider package was selected (linux-api-headers provides kernel-headers) 
looking for inter-conflicts..
:: linux-api-headers conflicts with kernel-headers. Remove kernel-headers? [b]YES[/b]
:: util-linux-ng conflicts with e2fsprogs. remove e2sprogs ? yes/no

if I press yes

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: cryptsetup requieres e2fsprogs
:: gcc
:: jfsutils
:: nfs utils
:: xfsprogs

all thoose tools requieres e2fsprogs
if I press no
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction

Re: Replace kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers?

Someone may need to confirm this with someone, but you might need to skip the dependancy check when removing kernel-headers then install linux-api-headers.

pacman -Rd kernel-headers
pacman -S linux-api-headers

Re: Replace kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers?

Nope.  It looks like a case of a badly outdated mirror.  e2fsprogs does not conflict with util-linux-ng.   Try changing mirrors and updating again.

Re: Replace kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers?

linux-api-headers has nothing to do with the kernel.  It is part of the toolchain.

I'm glad to see this explicitly stated.  I had problems with a kernel upgrade, so I added

IgnorePkg = kernel26

to my /etc/pacman.conf.  Ever since I've had concerns when I see kernel-headers package version change, fearing a mismatch.  And because of that I've said no to the replace with linux-api-headers.

Now that I've seen this, I'll accept the upgrade.
