Trying to update laptop BUT heimdal vs krb5 & something called xfprint

jtwdyp · 2011-07-22 11:29:36

I usually run Arch on my desktop So I don't always notice when I failed to update the laptop...

Anyway I wanted to rectify that today. 1st I had to update pacman of course, then:

replace alpine with re-alpine ? I said [ Y ]

replace gnome-panel-bonobo with gnome-panel ? heck I don't even use gnome so what I care [ Y ]

replace heimdel with krb5 ? I said [ Y ]

replace python2-qt with python2-pyqy I said [ Y ]

Error: "could not satisfy dependencies xfprint requires heimdal>=1.3.1

Tried again telling it NOT to replace heimdal {whatever that is} But:

it then says krb5 and heimdal are in conflict and asks if I want to remove heindal... ???

I don't know what xfprint is so I'm not sure if I might want to uninstall it, so I did a :

pacman -Si xfprint

"xfprint" not found...

Tried pacman -Ss xfprint But didn't find anything.

What do I gotta uninstsll???

yes, remove xfprint then try again.

pacman -Rsc xfprint

what does:

pacman -Q | grep -i xfprint

say?

why grep-ing when pacman -Q xfprint does the same job better?

Please search the forums, it's been covered already: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122096

Guilty as charged. I'm just tired and overheated, (I Just spen a couple days {had a hard time of it} learning how to adapt my laptop's Linux to be able to make reasonably secure use of the wireless capabilities of my new DSL modom/router.) Which process made me realize my laptop's Arch installation was out of date. And once I managed to get one of the other Linux to work with it as a back-up, I was ready to upgrade. But I musta forgot the mental gasX because I didn't think to search first... Sorry. My bad!

The good part is that The above answers made me realize the diff between a pacman sync search or info request, and the Query version.

You mean

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qs syslog
local/syslog-ng 3.2.4-2 [1,16 MB] (base)
    Next-generation syslogd with advanced networking and filtering capabilities

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Ss syslog
core/syslog-ng 3.2.4-2 [0,24 MB] (base) [installed]
    Next-generation syslogd with advanced networking and filtering capabilities
extra/metalog 1.0-1 [0,02 MB]
    Metalog is a modern replacement for syslogd and klogd
community/perl-device-modem 1.54-1 [0,04 MB]
    Perl extension to talk to modem devices connected via serial port
community/rsyslog 5.8.2-1 [0,25 MB]
    An enhanced multi-threaded syslogd with a focus on security and reliability
arch-games/log4cpp-old 0.3.5rc3-1 [0,22 MB]
    A library of C++ classes for flexible logging to files, syslog, IDSA and other destinations.

I find it pretty confusing.

in case it's called xfprint-git or something

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qs syslog
                 « output snipped »

Yeah, what I only just figured out {though I'm sure it's properly explained in "man pacman" }
Is that the -Q options look for packages on your computer. Not sure what happens if a package was downloaded but not yet installed? But if pacman -Q* finds it it's already on your computer...

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Ss syslog
                 « output snipped »

Whereas it seems that if "pacman -Ss*" or "pacman -Si*" finds it then it's in a repository

So since there are more "syslog" matched packages in the repos than already on your computer, the -Q output would be a shorter list...

Hope that makes it less confusing for you Karol...

@jtwdyp
I meant what's covered in the link http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 19689.html

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qs syslog
local/perl-device-modem 1.54-1 [0,12 MB]
    Perl extension to talk to modem devices connected via serial port
local/syslog-ng 3.2.4-3 [1,16 MB] (base)
    Next-generation syslogd with advanced networking and filtering capabilities

Why would 'perl-device-modem' be a match if I'm searching for 'syslog'? It's because it has 'perl-device-modem-log-syslog' in the 'Provides' array:

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qi perl-device-modem
Name           : perl-device-modem
Version        : 1.54-1
URL            : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Device-Modem/
Licenses       : unknown
Groups         : None
Provides       : perl-device-modem-log-file=2.10.0  perl-device-modem-log-syslog=2.10.0
                 perl-device-modem-usrobotics=1.50.0
Depends On     : perl-device-serialport
Optional Deps  : None
Required By    : None
Conflicts With : None
Replaces       : None
Installed Size : 120,00 K
Packager       : Sergej Pupykin <pupykin.s+arch@gmail.com>
Architecture   : any
Build Date     : pią, 8 lip 2011, 22:28:01
Install Date   : nie, 24 lip 2011, 06:32:12
Install Reason : Explicitly installed
Install Script : No
Description    : Perl extension to talk to modem devices connected via serial port

However if we search for 'syslog-ng'

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qs syslog-ng
local/syslog-ng 3.2.4-3 [1,16 MB] (base)
    Next-generation syslogd with advanced networking and filtering capabilities

we get more reasonable results ;P
