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:
loading package data...
checking dependencies...
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!

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.

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.

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).

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".

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,
Christian

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
nbvcxz wrote:Please find if you have some packages installed with "unsatisfied" dependences (eg. pulseaudio but no rtkit or libreoffice but no orbit2). To see more please do first pacman -Syu - should tell you more.
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)

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.

Failed to start Share could not initiate desktop share

i have been told that if calabrio and jabber use the same remote assistance windows api they will never work in harmony. Does anyone know if jabber uses the remote assistance api to for screen sharing?

I don't know if this will help, looks really old, about as old as the network card :)

Backups failing with error 19: the backup disk could not be resolved, or there was a problem mounting it

Hello all,
Doubt this issue relates to a recent and ugly issue but sharing anyways (resolved thanks to a user here: LaPastenague)
Time Capsule won't backup if Modem (Motorola SB6121) attached
This was on Feb 10th resolved. Few days later I upgraded to Yosemite. Backups were working fine since.
Yesterday I happen to notice my last backup was 5 days ago. I looked in the console logs and saw:
2/25/15 3:55:06.127 PM com.apple.backupd[2777]: Attempting to mount network destination URL: afp://Paul;AUTH=SRP@Time%20Capsule._afpovertcp._tcp.local./Data
2/25/15 3:55:17.778 PM com.apple.backupd[2777]: NAConnectToServerSync failed with error: 2 (No such file or directory) for url: afp://Paul;AUTH=SRP@Time%20Capsule._afpovertcp._tcp.local./Data
2/25/15 3:55:17.792 PM com.apple.backupd[2777]: Backup failed with error 19: The backup disk could not be resolved, or there was a problem mounting it.
2/25/15 3:57:18.808 PM com.apple.prefs.backup.remoteservice[2021]: Attempt to use XPC with a MachService that has HideUntilCheckIn set. This will result in unpredictable behavior: com.apple.backupd.status.xpc
I called Apple. Their front line was clueless. He suggested resetting the TC (latest "tower" model btw") which then a backup kicked off YEAH
But the next hour it failed
Called Apple again, this time to Sr Advisor. He suggested factory reset of the TC and set up again. Also first backup worked then rest failed
Third call to Apple useless also. He was asking questions I didn't feel relevant. He also was asking me to reset the TC which I told him was done 2 hours prior. He asked me to reboot which I could NOT at that time.
I begged him to collect data to submit to engineering, which will take days to get a reply.
So I thought I would throw this out to the community....
TC Is NEW (replaced from last issue). Mac is 8 months old (iMac 27"), Os is Yosemite, TC also new (latest model)
Thanks...

Yosemite is problematic on two fronts.. Networking and Time Machine.. so the combo of doing both with a Time Capsule is like bugs on bugs.
Here is my standard list.. but your problem maybe difficult to resolve.. and my suggestion is simple.. until Apple get their act together and fix TM.. buy Carbon Copy Cloner and use that for your backup. It is solid and reliable.. even better if you use USB drive plugged into the computer and do a bootable clone.. because then you have a backup that is able to be tested for full functionality 2min after the end of the backup.
This also starts from a factory reset.. but the reason for it is to change the configuration which is much more easily handled with factory reset to begin.. the instructions are there.. because this is my standard reply.. this is not uncommon!!
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the Mac itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. What I list here is good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
This user has had success and a few others as well.

Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.

[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:

What could i do?

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.

Moving library to external hard drive and get the error "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"

Hello,
I'm moving my library to an external hard drive.
I've made sure to use the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized' option when pointing to the new library location.
I select 'File'->'Library'->'Organize Library', I select to 'Consolidate Files', click 'OK' and get ther error message "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
I've read elsewhere that there may be a corrupted file that I need to sequester somehow and perhaps add it back however I'm not certain how I can locate that file because the status window doesn't indicate which file it's attempting to transfer when the error appears.
Any tips?
Thank you,

iTunes 10.6.3

OK I figured it out!
It was a dodgy file....I sorted the file folders by date, and as it turned out within the "compilations" folder there was a CD where only about half the tracks seemed to have been copied over. Could not have identified this simply from the time indicated on the finder folder sort, because there were several CDs copied over in the that same minute.
I went back to the original itunes folder, deleted all the files from that CD in itunes, then also deleted all those files from the original disk and the target disk.
Tried the "consolidate library" again, and it completed nicely. 200megs of music and videos.
Very happy to solve this problem after 3 weeks.

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