Hi Aivars,
You can't run servers built on previous versions of Tuxedo on later major versions of Tuxedo. So trying to run a 10gR3 server on 11gR1 will not work.

Error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Hi,
I was going to install a winff package (a GUI front end to ffmpeg for converting between video formats), but when I ran yaourt -S winff and tried to install it refused because it isn't for the x86_64 architecture. So I decided to edit the PKGBUILD and perhaps try to force it anyway, but then I saw that the PKGBUILD is actually getting the precompiled RPM package and as I checked, while there was no precompiled 64bit version of the RPM there was one for a deb version that is offered on winff site.
Since deb's are just archives I ended up, after a few tries, with this PKGBUILD which uses ar and tar commands to get to the binaries inside of the amd64 deb:
# Contributor: yugrotavele <[email protected]>
# Modified by libervisco for x86_64
pkgname=winff-amd64
pkgver=0.42
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="GUI for ffmpeg"
url="http://www.winff.org"
license=('GPL')
depends=('ffmpeg gtk gdk-pixbuf')
makedepends=('')
source=('http://winff.googlecode.com/files/winff-0.42-amd64.deb')
arch=('x86_64')
md5sums=('1febf5fd19fa76bdc1da06d3e6c4d3b8')
build() {
ar vx winff-0.42-amd64.deb
tar xvzf data.tar.gz
install -Dm755 $startdir/src/usr/bin/winff $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/winff
install -Dm755 $startdir/src/usr/share/winff/presets.xml $startdir/pkg/usr/share/winff/presets.xml
install -Dm755 $startdir/src/usr/share/winff/winff.png $startdir/pkg/usr/share/winff/winff.png
So what I basically do is run yaourt -S winff and when it asks whether I want to edit it, I edit it and replace the original PKGBUILD content with above.
It successfully runs the build() commands, finds and installs the dependencies, but when it's time to install the actual new winff package is throws up this:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: winff: requires ffmpeg gtk gdk-pixbuf
I don't get it. It installed all the dependencies (and I even checked whether winff works in one of the earlier tries when I manually installed gdk-pixbuf when the binary asked for it). What does it want now?
Here is the whole process:

I tried doing it without changing the package name to winff-amd64, but same thing happens. What's going on?

Ahh man, and that's it! It works.
I'm just wondering now how can I contribute this PKGBUILD to AUR, but I can read that in the wiki too.
Thanks!

[SOLVED] error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy de...

My attempts to yaourt (or pacmant) -Syu allow me to synch, & then give me the error used to title this thread:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
Then I get a list of package upgrades, followed by the Total Download: figure & the Total Installed Size: figure & then the terminal prompt?
I can add & remove both simple & complex meta packages but I can't -Su
Any ideas?

I'm doing a reinstall.
This old test build has had some serious problems that have been recovered from with help in the past. For many months I have thought that I will do a fresh install, cleaning out the fragments of previous explosions.
Though I have struck a problem with GRUB.
I'll do a search before I post a thread on it.
Thanks to all for your time.
By the way the latest 32bit install .iso does not like my hardware, kernel panicks with an error regarding my CPU in either installation method on the menu. So I'm using my old 64bit core install disk.

Thanks

I believe it is strongly advised not to use --force, especially for a system-wide upgrade. But it could be ok to use it only for the specific package that is causing this problem.
In this case you could use pacman -Qo to check if one of those files belong to a package or not.
If you indeed installed those from a third party source, it may be cleaner to delete the whole directorie(s) you copied manually instead of using --force on the new package, so that there are no leftover files.

[SOLVED]pacman upgrade: error# failed to prepare transaction

Whenever I am trying to install some packages using pacman, I get a message to upgrade pacman. When I say 'yes', I get an error message.

This started after adding a new mirror and performing "pacman -Syu" (I was trying to install firefox in arch, which didn't go through even with different mirrors).
What should I do now to upgrade pacman?

Anyone else, looking at this, look at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1086153 which suggests the above method could break pacman (but I don't understand why yet).

[SOLVDED]makepkg not wokking and [error: failed to commit transaction]

I had some problems with the liblzma.so.5, so I update the xz library, and it worked -the problem was with R, the statistic program-
pacman -S xz
After that, I tried to install some AUR programs, and got this error with the libzma.so.0. I read this thread and did:
sudo mv /usr/lib/liblzma.so /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0
AND
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblzma.so /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0
With this, the problem with that library did not appear, but when doing the makepkg with every package I tried, I got:
error: 'xbindkeys_config-0.1.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': cannot open package file
After that, I did a total update of the system, but got this errors:

Well, I found this solution:
Reading this thread, when I did:
pacman -S libarchive
and after that a:
pacman -Syu
Everything worked again. I don't know why, and why with that particular library. Is someone could expand the information we would be grateful.
Thank you.

Wait until your server upload the recent Arch Linux updates. Than you will be able to upgrade it. Or do like i had: download open-bm-tools from Arch Linux official site and install it and then issue "pacman -Syu".

At some point I think I had the haskell repository enabled on this machine, but I removed it because it was giving me too many headaches and conflicts. I'm not sure how to go about resetting things so that I can update packages comfortable again.

error: could not parse package description file 'gambas3-gb-ncurses-3.3.4-3/desc' from db 'community'
You should deal with this error - something is wrong. Does that file exist? Is the package installed? Is it missing files?
As for haskell, unless you want to reenable the repository, I guess you need to uninstall those packages. You can then update and reinstall the versions from the standard repositories if you need them.
I checked a couple of those packages, including xmonad, and the versions in the official repos require e.g. ghc 7.6.2-1 so those should work fine with upgrading.

Yaourt fails "error: failed to prepare transaction (unexpected error)"

Today, I am trying to do a full system upgrade using yaourt, but I get this strange message:
[christian@pb-tj72 ~]$ yaourt -Syua
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
error: failed to prepare transaction (unexpected error)
:: Starting full system upgrade...
It makes me wonder that it first reports the error and then executes the full system upgrade.
I hope that this is a well-known problem or that somebody can help me with instructions regarding how to increase verbosity or which log files to look at.
Otherwise, will the yaourt-alternatives work with the AUR packages that I've already installed with yaourt?
BR,

I tried yaourt -Syuv (didn't work together with the '-a' switch). First I got error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root., but when running as sudo, it works. This makes me wonder whether the -v switch is undocumented or if it invokes pacman instead.
pstree -a shows me that in fact, yaourt -Syuv launches pacman -Syuv

pacman -Syu tells me that I do have unresolved dependencies since my kernel is frozen until a certain bug is resolved:
warning: linux: ignoring package upgrade (3.2.14-1 => 3.3.2-1)
resolving dependencies...
warning: ignoring package linux-3.3.2-1
warning: cannot resolve "linux>=3.3", a dependency of "virtualbox-modules"
warning: ignoring package linux-3.3.2-1
warning: cannot resolve "linux>=3.3", a dependency of "virtualbox-modules"
But shouldn't yaourt handle this in the same way that pacman would?
My conclusion so far is that yaourt doesn't work with unresolved dependencies. So I will try another tool.

[SOLVED]error: failed to prepare transaction (could not ......

I'm new user of arch linux , recently I thought of trying plasma 5 p.s i'm using kde Platform Version 4.14.4. and i followed steps :
sudo pacman -Syu
and
sudo pacman -R $(LANG=C pacman -Qi kdebase-workspace | grep "Req" | sed -e 's/Required By : //g')
because As for the Arch Wiki “Plasma 5 is not co-installable with KDE 4 Workspace
but i got error:
[alis@alis ~]$ sudo pacman -R $(LANG=C pacman -Qi kdebase-workspace | grep "Req" | sed -e 's/Required By : //g')

The wiki is your friend, depending on your specific circumstances, there are a variety of ways to deal with this. You should mark this thread as solved though, and start a new thread if you can't find your answer to the volume issue by browsing the wiki. I use xbindkeys: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xb … media_keys
