[SOLVED] cdrkit no longer provides cdrtools? - which breaks xcdroast

perseus · 2011-09-16 13:22:59

I still use xcdroast, which requires cdrtools. My copy was intalled in 2007 and has cohabited happily since then with cdrkit (currently 1.1.11-1) Today I went to do pacman -Syu and got :

looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: xcdroast: requires cdrtools

I guess that this is because cdrkit 1.1.11-2 is waiting to be installed, and does not provide cdrtools as the older version does?

I see that xcdroast is now in AUR and I could (I suppose) reinstall and modify the pkgbuild accordingly, but I am wondering whether (a) my analysis of the problem is correct, and if so (b) whether the change to cdrkit in the current version is deliberate and necessary?

Official packages should not provide AUR packages.

xcdroast is an AUR package. Bring it up with the maintainer: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25109

Edit:
That AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25109 needs cdrkit>=1.1.9, not sure what's the problem, have you tried installing it? Do you really need the old xcdroast?

falconcindy : It not important, but my point was that my installed version of xcdroast was not from AUR. I installed it from the repos at the same time as I moved to Arch, four years ago. It struck me as odd that it had survived all revisions of cdrkit from then until now. Other people might have been in the same position.

karol : Thanks. I have replaced my installed version with the one from AUR. After some fiddling around, it is now working.

falconcindy was talking about the recent change in cdrkit's PKGBUILD http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … a66206e084
cdrtools are in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=323 so our cdrkit package should neither provide nor conflict with cdrtools, that's why these two lines:

-provides=('cdrtools')
-conflicts=('cdrtools')

got removed from the PKGBUILD.

Thanks again Karol. If I had known where to look for that diff, I would not have posted in the first place.

Most packages don't provide a changelog

[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qc cdrkit
error: no changelog available for 'cdrkit'.

so you have to go to http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/cdrkit/ and in the top right-hand corner you have a box labeled 'Package Actions' with a bunch of convenient links, 'Source Files / View Changes' among them.
