Conflicting Dependencies [SOLVED]

jeff story · 2010-10-02 23:14:14

I'm trying to build and install google-talkplugin from AUR.

I have checked/installed all dependencies except libgl.
I get the unresolvable package conflict error when trying to install it.
I don't want to remove nvidia-utils.

How to resolve this?

Remove the libgl dependency from PKGBUILD, nvidia-utils provides it

Thank you!

How did you know that ... so fast?

So I can learn for future...

Nvidia uses it's own implementation of libgl, maybe the PKGBUILD needs fixing:

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Si nvidia-utils | grep -i provides
Provides       : libgl

Did you actually try to makepkg? Because since nvidia provides libgl you don't need libgl at all. It seems you're trying to resolve dependencies by hand, in this case however since nvidia provides libgl you don't need to install the actual libgl package.

No, not prior to taking care of dependencies.

Yes regarding dependencies.
I also prefer to make and install AUR packages by hand as far as never tried any of the "helpers".
Seems to simple to further complicate.

makepkg handles dependencies if you let it.

Haven't used the -s yet! I'll try it next time.

Looks like it will make things simpler.
Adding the -s wouldn't "complicate" things too much for me.
