[Solved] Conflict upgrading

mghis · 2011-04-09 14:39:19

I'm trying to upgrade the system with

pacman -Syu

There are some errors:

:: lesstif and openmotif are in conflict. Remove openmotif? [y/N] 
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: lesstif and openmotif are in conflict

I have to keep openmotif, how can I find what needs lesstif?

Thanks for any reply!

To check which packages depend on lesstif:

pacman -Qi lesstif | grep "^Required By"

You can also check all repo packages depending on lesstif here: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/lesstif/

He doesn't have lesstif installed so it is

pacman -Sii lesstif | grep Required

.

Haha, you got me there. Never knew -Sii, thank you.

Passing two --info or -i flags will also display those packages in all repositories that depend on this package.

should have been:

Pass this option twice to also display those packages in all repositories that depend on this package.

as with "Passing two --refresh or -y flags will"...
