The pacman 3.5 thread (merged threads)
Today "pacman -Syu" offered to upgrade pacman, but failed with a dependency error ":: perl-xyne-arch: requires pacman<3.5".
pacman 3.4.3-1 is installed from [base] and was trying to upgrade to 3.5.0-1 from [testing].
perl-xyne-arch 2011.02.06.1-2 is installed from [community]
Haven't found anything by searching - is this really a bug, or do I have a configuration issue?
Thanks for any hints.
Jack

Re: The pacman 3.5 thread (merged threads)
perl-xyne-arch needs updated. Either wait, or remove it.

Re: The pacman 3.5 thread (merged threads)
Thanks. It turns out perl-xyne-arch was originally pulled in as a dependency of reflector and powerpill, so I've dropped these for now, and will have to remember to reinstall them later.

Re: The pacman 3.5 thread (merged threads)
looks like you probably have yaourt installed.
You can either way until package-query and yaourt support pacman 3.5, or you can remove them, then update pacman, and then do your full system update.

According to my experience pacman-color also needs to be removed...

There is pacman-color-testing in AUR, that goes with pacman from testing

Re: The pacman 3.5 thread (merged threads)
Hey,
problem here:
pacman -Syu complained about pacman-color:
[root@titania ~]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
multilib is up to date
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :

:: Do you want to cancel the current operation

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: pacman-color: requires pacman=3.4.3also yaourt -Syu --aur...
So I uninstalled yaourt (pacman -Rs yaourt) like mentioned in a forum post
Then I uninstalled pacman-color (pacman -Rs pacman-color).
Now this.
[root@titania ~]# pacman -Syu
-bash: /usr/bin/pacman-color: No such file or directory
[root@titania ~]# pacman -S yaourt
-bash: /usr/bin/pacman-color: No such file or directory
[root@titania ~]# pacman -Syu
-bash: /usr/bin/pacman-color: No such file or directoryHow can I resolve this? THX

You forgot your alias for pacman ->pacman-color
alias pacman=pacman

Yes and that dependency makes it impossible to reinstall powerpill (which has to be removed too) for the time beeing. I removed yaourt, powerpill, pacman-color and upgraded.
After that there was no problem reinstalling yaourt and pacman-color. Powerpill will have to wait I guess.

I do. So what? Should I remove this package? Will I brake something or not if I remove it?

Re: The pacman 3.5 thread (merged threads)
You have to recompile it with the new pacman, I dont know if it will work though.

Re: The pacman 3.5 thread (merged threads)
It is a dependency of yaourt and as such I was able to uninstall and reinstall it with the new pacman.

Re: The pacman 3.5 thread (merged threads)
Removing package-query isn't going to harm anything.
Thank you.
I already solved the problem
pacman -Rs package-queryThen upgrade pacman. The routine generates pacman.conf.pacnew. I removed pacman.conf and renamed pacman.conf.pacnew to pacman.conf.
Then
