Ok did it everything works fine.thanks

gobject-introspection says, it replaces gir-repository. Will it therefore provide gir-repository? Or will you have to modify the packages that depend on gir-repository (there are none in the repos anymore I think)?

gir-repository is not required anymore and nothing in our repos depend on it. therefor a provides is useless.

we wanted to get rid of it somehow because it was conflicting with our packages that have gir files now.

Excuse me.

I've the same "problem" of Kaveiros. If I confirm the removal of "gir-repository", pacman shows me about 142 mb of updates to be downloaded. Is this normal?

Thank you for your help

wonder · 2010-10-04 20:15:06

yes is normal.

Ok, then just editing the depends in AUR packages with gir-repository dependency should work. Thanks.

Dudes, how can you consider this not being a bug. What does an average experienced user know about package dependencies of those packages in particular? Nothing! He will try guessing, go look for it on-line and generally just waste time. How many broken installations will this not-bug generate? Not to mention future cases.

pacman -Syu is supposed to upgrade the system and the last thing the user need to do in this situation is to make decisions that can potentially harm his system when the package manager should have known the correct action in the first place.

Is it because pacman cannot handle superseded packages or because the packages in question are not properly marked in the database?
