Avahi conflicts with nss-mdns. [solved]

I'm confused. Went to update today, and got this message:
:: avahi conflicts with nss-mdns. Remove nss-mdns? [Y/n]
I thought 'Fair enough...' but I always check packages like this with -Si to know what's actually happening in my system. Soo, I run:
$ pacman -Si avahi
Repository : extra
Name : avahi
Version : 0.6.6-2
Groups : None
Provides : howl mdnsresponder
Depends On : dbus libcap libdaemon nss-mdns
Conflicts With : howl mdnsresponder
Replaces : None
Size (compressed) : 557952
Description : A multicast/unicast DNS-SD framework
MD5 Sum : 52ec5424dde107d8099637feb3076925
Now, this is why I'm confused. -Si tells me avahi depends on nss-mdns. When I try to install, it tells me they conflict.
So.... which is right?
-=edit=-
Okay, I've found something else out that may be pertinent. Currently, the packages I have for avahi and nss-mdns depend on each other. That is:
$pacman -Si nss-mdns avahi
Name : nss-mdns
Version : 0.7-3
Depends On : avahi
Required By : avahi kdelibs
Name : avahi
Version : 0.6.5-1
Depends On : dbus libcap libdaemon nss-mdns
Required By : nss-mdns
However there are new packages for both avahi and nss-mdns available in the repos. (0.7-4 and 6.6-2 respectively)
The thing is, pacman isn't picking up the new nss-mdns package with a -Syu operation, and gives me that conflicts line... I'm going to try updating nss-mdns first then see if that fixes it.
-=edit again=-
Geez, I hate it when I post something and moments later figure it out myself. The newest versions of nss-mdns and avahi break the dependancy cycle I noted above; that is, nss-mdns no longer depends on avahi. If I manually updated nss-mdns first, pacman now installs avahi with no problem.
I'm wondering, is this worth a bug report? I'm not surprised a cyclic dependancy like that would cause wierd behaviour...

You get that error because they DO conflict. Do you have mdnsresponder installed?
If so, and you want avahi, then you'll have to remove mdnsresponder and install avahi.

Error: mozilla-firefox conflicts with nss-nspr

I get this message when I try:
#>pacman -S gnome
i get:
error: mozilla-firefox conflicts with nss-nspr
i tried upgraded all installed packages, and still got this error. I'm still not used to pacman, so I could have missed a step or something. The only other packages I had installed besides the base system at this point was hwd and xorg.
I removed hwd and still got the same message.

I've got the same problem with one exception - I've got no "nss-nspr" installed on my system :shock:

Cannot upgrade pacman due to conflict with package-query [SOLVED]

Package query 0.9 requires pacman <4, package-query 1 requires pacman >=4, therefore I am totally unable to upgrade, even using pacman -f
I'm aware that package-query is unsupported software, but this seems a bit stupid to me! Am I to uninstall package-query and therefore yaourt, only to reinstall them by hand, or is there a safe workaround?

Or, realistically, 5 minutes.
But if that is too much for you to spare, rather than bemoaning the fact that the developers have spent a significant amount of time and effort on this upgrade that will cause you such inconvenience, you could just install another distro - that would probably eat a day.
Every other distro I've tried is inferior and eats up far more frustration time than Arch, which is why it's now on all my machines. I'm still putting off upgrading my 4 machines, though - because painful recent experience tells me that the chances of all 4 getting through this without day-eating breakage is about 6% (If you want a laugh at my expense, see this woeful example of breakage https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27385). And yes, I'm aware that the longer I put it off, the worse my chances get.
Edit:
machine one (netbook).
Time taken so far: 44 minutes (inc reading up on a few errors, plus line-by-line comparison of rc.conf.pacnew, reboot plus check of basic system workiness, plus waiting unsuccessfully for package-query source to download).
Status: yaourt uninstallable (package-query git server appears to be down), openjdk6 broken due to bug, system otherwise appears healthy.
Prognosis: Total 90 minutes for 4 machines seems a reasonable (optimistic) estimate, but I'll further put the other machines off until package-query git server is back up and running.
And many apologies, this has veered somewhat off-topic and off-forum. I will probably make this my last post and let it die.
Further edit: How do I mark a thread as SOLVED? I can't see an option anywhere, or any way to edit the thread title!
edit: Nevermind, the trick is to edit the first post in the thread, it would seem.

Unable to open Aperture 2 because it is apparently in conflict with an old trial version 3. Any tips how to solve this?

I am unable to open my Aperture2.
The following warning message shows on top of the ususl opening window:
Quote
The libraryin "users/pedro/pictures/Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary" cannot be loaded because it is from newer version of Aperture.
Unquote
It looks like some kind of conflict with an old trial version 3, to which I never upgraded.
Any tips to help me solving the issue?

Do you need to run Aperture 2, or do you need to open the "Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary"?
If you only want to run Aperture 2, then launch Aperture by double-clicking your regular Aperture 2 library; this should open Aperture on the correct library. In Aperture 3 you also simply could hold down the options-key while double-clicking the Aperture Applications icon in the Dock - probably this works in Aperture 2 as well,
But if you need to open your Aperture 3 trial library with Aperture 2, because you converted your Aperture 2 library to Aperture 3 format; there is no easy way to do it. The best would be to find a backup of your library from the time before you converted it. If you do not have such a backup, then the easiest way would be to upgrade to Aperture 3 at this point.
I do not know enough about the Aperture 2 library format to be able to tell you how to manually downgrade an Aperture 3 library to Aperture 2 format.

[SOLVED]"fontconfig conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu" and other issues

Almost every program I have has stopped working. If I run a program from a terminal (one of the virtual terminals, gnome-terminal wont work either), they either complain about not being able to find libpng or libjpeg. I read the news posting about these and some forum posts, but none of them mentioned people having problems. What I understood from reading is that I just need to update my system.
This is where the problem lies. I cannot run "pacman -Syu" as usual. When I do, I get the following error:
fontconfig conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu. Remove fontconfig-ubuntu?
If I answer yes, I get:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs: requires phonon
:: cairo-ubuntu: requires fontconfig-ubuntu>=2.6.0
:: libxft-ubuntu: requires fontconfig-ubuntu
If I answer no, I get:
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: fontconfig: conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu
Either way, nothing is upgraded. How can I resolve this, as well as the libpng/libjpeg issue? I cleaned my cache and tried re-installing them, but it didn't help.

Alright I installed fontconfig-ubuntu from the AUR and that resolved my initial conflict. It started complaining about gtk-qt-engine and kdelibs and they weren't depended on by anything so I just removed them (I assume I can re-install them later) and now my system upgrade is underway. Hopefully things will be fixed when it finishes.
Does anyone know what caused this and whether I can avoid similar issues in the future?
It happens because you are using a modified version of fontconfig (the ubuntu one). When a new version of fontconfig reaches [extra], pacman tries to update fontconfig (because fontconfig-ubuntu provides fontconfig, and fontconfig from [extra] is newer than the version you have installed) and finds that it conflicts with fontconfig-ubuntu.
The way to go is the one that you have followed: when there is an update in fontconfig, update your fontconfig-ubuntu package to the latest in AUR (hopefully the same version as the new one in [extra], else you'll have to wait or modify the PKGBUILD) and then update the rest of the system.

Try:
pacman -Rd gtmod
pacman -S qt
#Qtmod not needed anymore
pacman -R guidance-power-manager /or pacman -Rcsn ....
pacman -Syu kdemod /or pacman -Syu kdemod-complete
also backup/ remove ~/.kde4 to start with clean config, especially if you have your own plasmoids.
#powerdevil is included in kde now, so other inferior powermanagers might conflict with it.

Gtk-gir conflicts with atk and gtk2 updates [SOLVED]

When upgrading with pacman -Syu I get the following error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

Checking with pacman -Qo /usr/share/gir-1.0/Atk-1.0.gir gives:

@wonder
Thanks for the tip! It makes sense.
However, the current PKGBUILD for libdesktop-agnostic-gnome-bzr speaks about dependencies like so:
depends=('glib2' 'gtk2>=2.20.0' 'gconf' 'gnome-vfs' 'gnome-desktop')
makedepends=('bzr' 'python' 'pygobject' 'pygtk' 'vala' 'gobject-introspection')
optdepends=('python')
conflicts=('libdesktop-agnostic')
And I still get the build error. I suspect the workaround is to force a removal of gtk-gir but I'm hesitating because I really don't want to break my AWN installation.
Am I being too cautios - or is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks!

[SOLVED] systemd-arch-units conflicts with mdadm and xinetd packages

Trying to upgrade my testing box today to latest/greatest and running into a file conflict between systemd-arch-linux providing systemd profiles for xinetd and mdadm which also think they control the same files:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/lib/systemd/system/mdadm.service exists in both 'mdadm' and 'systemd-arch-units'
/usr/lib/systemd/system/xinetd.service exists in both 'systemd-arch-units' and 'xinetd'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Should I just do a force? I am not relying on systemd yet. Or should I just remove systemd?

:: ruby conflicts with rubygems. Remove rubygems? [Y/n]
How can I resolve this? Ideally, I don't really want to update ruby.. I there a way I can skip updating ruby?
If not, do I need to wait until the rubygems package it updated?
Can I skip this somehow and update the rest of the system?

Thanks Allan, does that mean if I were so inclined, it would be safe to remove rubygems, then update ruby?
The reason I don't think I should update ruby is because I have a lot of rails apps on this server, and there is bound to be more than a couple which can't cope with the update to ruby 1.9 (it's a pretty major upgrade).
I'll check out the pacman.conf thanks!

[solved] Slim themes conflict with e2fsprogs

I tried installing a couple of slim themes, and got a message saying...
util-Linux-ng conflicts with e2fsprogs. Remove e2fsprogs?
I am currently on my desktop trying to install arch on a old laptop.
Last edited by Jboxer (2010-02-08 01:24:46)

I have discovered e2fsprogs has to deal with Ext2 Filesystem Utilities, i have installed Ext4, therefore I might try to remove the programs that are dependent of e2fsprogs. I would like to receive some more suggestions before I do anything.
Edit: It also is used for Ext4, so scratch that idea.

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

width:700px;
height:350px;
border-radius: 13px;

Firefox 25.0.1 Warn when closing multiple tabs (on) conflicts with "show windows und tabs from last time" (on); need both, but only one or the other works.

Using Firefox 25.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium
I've poured through support forums for Mozilla Firefox searching for a fix to my initial problem of the "Warn when closing multiple tabs" pop up not popping up when I have it selected.
Went through About:Config, making sure warnings for tabs und closing, und showing on quit, und quitting, etc. were all set to true, which were "possible" fixes for the issue I was having, there are like five or six things set to true for warnings/quitting/etc. No avail. They are all set to true.
Then I stumbled across one that suggested a conflict with the "Warn When Closing Multiple Tabs" und the "Show Windows und Tabs from last time".
I use both features. However, I found if I want the warning pop up for closing multiple tabs, I have to have "show homepage" or "show blank page" selected instead of "Show windows und tabs from last time" selected. (Tools>Options>General>Start Up>When Firefox Starts:) The problem with this is, yes, I get my warning pop up, BUT, I don't get my tabs from my last session.
The warning in settings (Tools>Options>Tabs>Warn Me When Closing Multiple Tabs) is checked.
To have my tabs restored from last session, I simply select it for "when firefox starts". Bam, I have my tabs that were open from the last time I quit. Und again, full circle, I don't have my warning pop up.
There were also suggestions of the warning on close for tabs is conflicting with add-ons.
However, I don't have many. Und I have yet to test them to see if they interfere. These are according to my Add Ons tab when I check it myself.
Extensions:
1. Avast WebRep (disabled)
2. HP Smart Web Printing (disabled)
Plugins:
1. Adobe Acrobat
2. Google Update
3. iTunes Application Detector
4. Java (TM) Platform SE 7 U45
5. Shockwave Flash
6. Shockwave For Director
7. Silverlight Plug-In
8. VLC Web Plugin
9. Windows Live Photo Gallery
10. Java Deployment Toolkit (disabled)
Note: The Details Firefox provides says I have these for Plugins
* Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
* Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.0.5.146
* Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.45.2 for Mozilla browsers
* Google Update
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.05
* VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.0
* 5.1.20913.0
* iTunes Detector Plug-in
* NPWLPG
Unsure of what the "5.1.20913.0" und the "NPWLPG" plugins are, but they don't appear to me under Add Ons.
Und as usual, I'm assuming the solution lies within About:Config, I will show here now what I have set to True.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose - True
browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs - True
browser.tabs.warnOnOpen - True
browser.warnOnQuit - True
browser.showQuitWarning - True
As aforementioned:
The seemingly only issue is the conflict between Show Windows/Tabs From Last Time und the Warn On Quit pop up. Und again, I need/want both of them. More so the tabs from the last session, but I really really really really really want the warning.
So, if anyone knows a work around, preferably without having to download anything to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.

You mention a second subject.
''I'm probably going to downgrade to another version of firefox that was suggested to me since I'm also having issues with shockwave flash causing firefox to hang und ultimately needs to be force closed otherwise having to have flash disabled to use firefox.''
<u>Downgrading Firefox </u><br />
Flash is notorious for causing Firefox problems. I suggest you start a new thread about that. If at all possible you should try to avoid downgrading to an unsecure & unsupported version of Firefox. it will increase risks to your system and Personal data. (There are methods of mitigating the risks, using a virtual machine or operating within a secure intranet for instance)
*(Do Not) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
<u>Try Flash with Protected Mode Off</u><br/>
Worth a try as it takes minimal effort & often solves Flash Problems whilst allowing current and more secure FlashPlayer to be used. See
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows
* http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround
If you wish to pursue these subjects further I note you have already started a thread you may as well continue the discussion in that thread, but also post back here so we can follow both.
* ''Firefox is having "Script" issues (Not Responding) und possibly Flash issues?'' [/questions/978181]
** try ensuring you close down Firefox using the menu, that may even help with Flash problems.
<u>Your experience in submitting troubleshooting information on the forum</u><br />
(This is out of curiosity, but with the intention of pressing for changes if forum faults are discovered.)
There are yet more changes to this forum underway. Mozilla recently tried to improve the experience for first time users of the forum and a troubleshooting app option was included in the workflow to try to encourage users to submit full troubleshooting information.
I would be interested to know what you thought
I sometimes wonder if users are not trying to use that, or whether forum users run into problems in using it. At one point I wondered whether there was a problem if too much data was included but never actually proved that conjecture.
Assuming you are using the forum, and not merely replying by email look towards the top in the right hand margin for clickable buttons

You will note that includes only partial information. There are no changed prefs or extensions listed. Compare for instance the information in this thread [/questions/978130] with full information.
I believe your mystery plugins are Windows related
* NPWLPG relates usually to Windows Live Photo Gallery
