Installing older package from aur

how do I revert to an older package from the aur? I installed the new build of utorrent and it won't run so I was wondering how to revert back to the old build? thanks

Well, my first thought was "of course it fscking is", but in the spirit of the forum I gave a more diplomatic answer.

  • Problem installing a package from AUR

    I'm not expecting anyone to install this package just to try and answer my question but,,
    I have /home on a 10 gig space ext3 and it's only 2% full.
    When I try and install doom3-phantasm, the package downloads, builds and when it's time to install a window says not enough space to install.
    No way this single game is over 9.5 gigs.
    I'm not even seeing where it's trying to install to.
    Is this a problem with the package build or am I not seeing something?

    I wrote the pkgbuild, so I've got it installed
    $ pacman -Ql doom3-phantasm

    Alternatively, take a look in the "pkg" directory of where you built it, or just examine the .pkg.tar.gz installation file.
    What does this show:
    df -h

  • Package from AUR failed to install after doing many steps, how to rm?

    How can I see what files have been left on my hard drive after a package failed to install. I can't pacman -Rsu the package because it didnt install, but now i got some other packages that i don't need then. and probably some other stuff while the package was being extracted..
    How can i prevent from leaving a messy trail?

    Yeah gen2ly, i was using yaourt to get a package from AUR.
    I was able to uninstall the extra packages that were uninstalled, but is it possible that when the PKGBUILD failed that it left some random files somewhere? That's what I trully want to know. The other dependancies i have already removed.
    Hey thanks for the info on unzip, Runiq! unzip works miracles!!!! I installed it, and now the front end "File Roller" AKA "Archive Manager" in Gnome can suddenly handle .zip files! It's awesome! no need for p7zip or xarchiver.
    Every newbie or windows transferee should know about it!
    But anyways, is it possible the failed PKGBUILD left files somewhere?

    Can you check if:

    solves the problem?

  • Virtual memory exhausted when compiling packages from AUR

    Recently I've seen this error more and more often. When I tried compiling some packages from AUR, I ended up getting "virtual memory exhausted" error. The first time it happened with clementine-git, then android-studio. Can I do something about it?

    I am also facing the same problem.  I am trying to install a package, and the installations aborts saying 'virtual memory exhausted'. The RAM is 2 GB and i have alloted 2 GB as swap.  Things i have tried so far
    -install  using yaourt
    -install using  makepkg.
    -change  TMPDIR to HDD.
    Even when i tried it without any window manager to start, limiting the RAM usage, the problem still persists. The only way is to allot an extra swap space, but that would mean that i will have to delete a partition, which is not a feasible solution. Is there anything else one could do. ?
    if it helps,
    ulimit -a
    core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
    data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited

  • [yaourt] update only packages from aur

    That just tries to reinstall (and rebuild as we are talking about AUR) all the AUR packages that are installed. Even the ones that doesn't need any updates.

    Obviously it doesn't. You're welcome to try bauerbill, which should do what you want using the code above.

  • [SOLVED] Building VCS packages from AUR fails

    Hello,
    Whenever I try to build a git or svn package from AUR, build fails with the error in a clean chroot enviroment:
    ==> ERROR: Unknown download protocol: svn
    Aborting...
    When the build starts, makepkg actually downloads source files properly. Any clues?

    Trilby wrote:How many packages has this happened with?  Can you give an example of one that produces this error?  If the download proceeds when the build starts, it sounds like the PKGBUILD is outdated and is manually grabbing the source in the build function (in pacman<4.0 style).
    I was building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uefi-shell-svn: a popular and up-to-date PKGBUILD.
    Indeed I didn't merge the conf files of  clean chroot. There was a makepkg.conf.pacnew, the lacking part in my old makepkg.conf was:
    VCSCLIENTS=('bzr::bzr'
    'git::git'
    'hg::mercurial'
    'svn::subversion')
    and some small changes. Everything works fine now. Was my bad. Sorry for incovenience and thanks for your help.

  • Install all packages from a given repository?

    Is there a way to install every package from a given repository? For example, say I wanted to install every package from core (or at least every non-conflicting package, since systemd-sysvcompat is an issue)? I thought maybe something like '# pacman -S core' might do it, but it didn't.
    Back when AIF was still around, I could do this by checking everything at install time, but now it's a multi-step process to collect all the packages and then install them.

    For me, I found I was using most of what was in [core] and it was easier for me to just install everything in it than to weed out the handful that I didn't need. Yes, I know there are _that_ many packages in [core], I'm just _that_ lazy.
    In another scenario, I could see someone wanting to have an uber-system with absolutely everything possible and available installed. I used to do this a few years back with distros like Fedora where I would do a complete install.

  • Install single package from testing

    I just switched to Arch from Gentoo, and so far it's been mostly great. What I want to do right now is install 1 package from testing, and only that one. Is there an easy way to do this, besides uncommenting the testing repo, installing xorg-server, and commenting testing again? Basically (if you're familiar with Gentoo and emerge), I want to know what pacman's equivalent to /etc/portage/package.keywords is. Alternatively, if there's a way to make kde4 not absurdly slow with a relatively new ultra-low-end nvidia card (9300m), then I'm up for that as well. Additional background for this question is that I was hoping the newest (beta) drivers might alleviate this issue, but they depend on an xorg-server version that only exists in testing. I don't want to run testing, but if the new drivers help, then I'd be willing to run them (along with any reasonable, if unstable, dependencies). Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forums.
    If you upgrade only xorg-server, you're going to have problems. There are other packages designed to be used with it.
    With that being said, you can always put testing as the last repo in /etc/pacman.conf. Then if you want to upgrade one package, you explicitly call it with pacman -S testing/<package_name>.

  • How to install a package from a disc

    i have the file     sudo-1.7.2p3.tar    on a disk and i need to know how to install a package from a cd, what lines do i need to type to install it?:|

    If you are running as root, you can execute that command as ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o and there is no need for sudo.
    Btw, what wireless card is this? Have you tried searching for a pacman package for it?
    To access the cd drive, use the mount command. Enter man mount to read the manual. (I assume you do not have a graphical environment set up yet.)

  • Error installing package from AUR. /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem

    I installed the package zoneminder-xinetd 1.27.0-1 using the instruction on the wiki, the installation finished successfully. then I realized that the package was outdated, so I uninstalled it using "sudo pacman -R zoneminder-xinetd", manually edit the files .AURINFO and PKGBUILD to get the new version, compiled successfully using 'makepkg -s' but when I'm try to install it(sudo pacman -U zoneminder-xinetd-1.28.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) I got this error:
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    zoneminder-xinetd: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    I also tried to install this other package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zoneminder after removing some unwanted dependencies but i get the same error.

Allan's blog has a good description (see the section "Directory Symlink Handling") http://allanmcrae.com/2014/12/pacman-4-2-released/. I suggest you inform the maintainers of those packages so that they may update the PKGBUILDs.
    Thanks for the quick answer.
    I solved this issue by adding "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/lib" to the cmake in the PKGBUILD. The mantainer of the zoneminder package solved this already by adding "-DZM_PERL_SUBPREFIX=/lib/perl5 \".
    Also, I adopted the zoneminder-xinetd package .

  • [Solved] Error installing Flash 64bit from AUR

    I tried installing the 64bit flash from here :http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21601, using 'yaourt -S flashplugin-alpha-64 10.0.d20.7-3'
    It will say:
    Downloading 10.0.d20.7-3 PKGBUILD from AUR
    Error: 10.0.d20.7-3 not found in AUR.
    So i tried another method by downloading this tar file from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs … .so.tar.gz
    Then i untarred the file and on the desktop it shows 'libflashplayer.so'
    So next i went to terminal, tried doing 'cd Desktop', followed by 'pacman -S libflashplayer.so', but it says i need to be root to do that. So i do 'su - ', and then 'cd Desktop', but it says '-bash: cd: Desktop: No such file or directory.'
    How am i suppose to install flash64 bit? Thanks.

    the error is telling you it cant find 10.0.d20.7-3 which is not a package.  did you get another error with the first part? or did  you see it building the package?
    i like building it by hand, so i usually (in a folder on my /home) i do
    mkdir flashplugin-alpha-64
    cd flashplugin-alpha-64
    yaourt -G flashplugin-alpha-64 (to get pKGBUILD and other files)
    makepkg  (to build)
    then install with yaourt -U [full package filename]
    makes me feel like i'm in control

  • Problem installing android-sdk from AUR using yaourt

    Hi all,
    I use yaourt to install packages from the AUR but I'm having an issue with android-sdk.
    Whenever I run 'yaourt -S android-sdk' it seems to detect that the 'java-runtime' is not installed.
    However, I do have sun's jre and jdk installed (I was having applet issues with openjdk) and it detects this when it actually starts installing it.
    But it just reinstalls the package and quits without installing the android sdk. If I run yaourt again, the same thing happens.
    Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
    I could download the tar.gz from google but I'd rather keep everything handled by arch package management.

    Is that a show stopper for yaourt?  I use aurbuild and did that install the other night.  It tripped over the java runtime and pitched a warning, but the build worked and it installed. 
    I could download the tar.gz from google but I'd rather keep everything handled by arch package management.
    Even if you hand build the AUR in a directory of your choice, the resultant package is still integrated into your Arch system using the -U option of pacman.  Regadrless of the front end (Yaourt, aurbuild, or roll-your-own), pacman tracks the package as 'Foreign'.  FYI.

  • Error installing ruby-json from AUR

    Hey guys,
    I'm getting an error installing the ruby-json AUR package with yaourt. Here's the error https://gist.github.com/EvanPurkhiser/5409110
    I checked the directory pkg directory and it has 000 permissions =/ Changing the permissions doesn't seem to fix it as it just resets them back to 000 next time i try to install it
    Also, would this be a better to report this in the package comments instead of asking here?

    Technically that is not the problem, the problem is that the PKGBUILD was doing bad things in build(), which makepkg will now refuse 

  • Trying to install AMSN-SVN from AUR, TLS troubles (Resolved)

    Hi all,
    I just finished attempting to get AMSN-SVN from AUR working correctly. I got it installed and running fine but when I go to sign in, it complains about a missing TLS package, which was expected from what I read in the wiki. However, AMSN for some reason is unable to download the TLS package due to an error with sourceforge. I manually entered the URL in my web browser and the file in question downloaded fine that way. I extracted the archive and in the AMSN preferences I directed it to look for TLS in the folder I extracted the archive too. In theory this should work fine but it did not and no matter where I put the TLS files or point AMSN too it simply won't work.
    I also read about editing one of the TLS files but my file was correct already so it must have been fixed at some point. Anyone have any insight or tips for me? I am ready to pull my hair out. lol. I even tried installing Arch's TLS package but got no love from that either. If I can't get this to work I may have to go back to my Ubuntu install. Nooooo!! I love Arch too much.

    well, I just read the wiki, and it tells you have to download tls manually, but you don't have to...
    amsn also asko for tls (which was already installed) until this modification is done
    I know you said you already tried something similar, but I've done this few days ago, and I can't see why it wouldn't work for you...
    Thanks for the suggestion samlt. I did try that as I too found some posts relaying the same info. My file already had the correct layout so it must have been fixed sometime recently. No biggie, I am using Mercury Messenger at the moment and it seems to be doing pretty much everything I need for now, just found out about it yesterday and there was a package in the AUR so I tried it out and it is working well at the moment.
    Thanks,
    Kevin
