Maybe just some minor problem, will se what i do with it later today.
!!Fixed now.
Not a big deal, tried to stop X and remove nvidia module but had to move or remove this file
/usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
to somewhere.
And upgrade of nvidia-utils finished fine then.

Same happened to me.
I never installed anything manually, and I also had that issue.
So the explanation given in the link I gave above is more probable, at least in my case.
Otherwise, simply removing the conflicting file is in my opinion the easiest and safest way.

No problem. pacman is an excellent package manager, as you know, but it will never be able to account for software that it doesn't install. Use the packages in the repos, and all will be well.
If you need a new version of nvidia, or anything else, before we put it in the repos, use ABS (Arch Build System) to build it and pacman to install it. ABS details are in the wiki if you need them.

[SOLVED] Error "libpng12: /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 exists in filesystem".

I've just tried to install the stable "google-chrome" package from AUR with the command. I have all of the dependencies already installed except for these two:
- libjpeg6 (building from AUR)
- libpng12 (package found)
When the package manage tries to install "libpng12-1.2.43-1", I get the following error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libpng12: /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
According to the file manager (Thunar), the file /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 is a link to /usr/lib/libpng.so.
This is probably a silly question (as I'm a clueless newbie!) but... can I just delete this link and expect the installation of libpng12 to replace it so that everything will still work...?
Thanks in advance :-)

Having issues with /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3 exists in filesystem

Hello!
On sunday I did a pamcan -Suy and it fails showing:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
freeimage: /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3 exists in filesystem
It is trying to install: Packages (9): farstream-0.1-0.1.2-4 freeimage-3.16.0-2 gnome-desktop-sharp-2.26.0-10

And I did this:
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3
Any idea? what to do?

Luuuciano:
So, I'm having the same problem. I'm relatively new to Arch: I've just been using it a month or two, and I'm not entirely sure what the wiki is telling me to do when it says to "rename" the file. Would you please elaborate for me? I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you,

Gpm: /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 exists in filesystem

Hi all,
Ran pacman -Syu today and I get the following error: -
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
gpm: /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I tried a google search and a search of this forum but no results.
Any ideas?

I hate blanket advice like this without explanation. Forcing is not usually a good idea. Why not something more like this:
Since there is only one file that is conflicting, you can manually delete it and then try the upgrade again. If there were quite a few files that conflicted, you should be sure you know what you are doing and then pacman -Sf just that one package, and then your normal -Sy will work fine.
i just rephrased what the maintainer of the package said on the mailing list http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev … 05907.html giving the two imo crucial pointers. users are responsible for maintaining their own system.

[SOLVED] freeimage: /usr/lib/libfreeimage.so.3 exists in filesystem

Issue:
I can't upgrade.
$ pacman -Syu
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
freeimage: /usr/lib/libfreeimage.so.3 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded
I check whether a package, possibly from AUR, is responsible:
# pacman -Qo
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libfreeimage.so.3
No.
Apparently this happened to other users as well. I was recommended the following solution:
$ pacman -Sf freeimage

FYI: archlinux is widely known for our excellent wiki. Be sure to check there and search the forums before starting new threads. Many problems can be solved with a good search.
As a second FYI, I don't know if the use of the manjaro boards (linked in OP) was just a coincidence of what your previous search gave you or if you are using Manjaro. If it's the latter there are many differences between Manjaro and Archlinux. In this case they are similar enough to share a solution, but in other cases we would be unable to help you here. In short, if you are using Manjaro, be sure to ask on their forums if you have future problems.

Find out which package it belongs to (pacman will do this for you), then report it on the bugtracker, if it hasn't already been reported.

Clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils

I'm getting a clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils when upgrading. The error is:
/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.1 exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.260.19.29 exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
Anyone else getting this problem?

No, I've been upgrading daily. I've experienced this sort of error before, but the clash has always been with existing files (usually after not upgrading for a while), not between two packages. Uninstalling, -Syu and reinstall didn't work, I still get the error. I had a look at the .pkg.tar.gz, and it really does contain those files, so it looks like a packaging error.

Nvidia-utils help

Hello,
My current setup requires me to run the latest nvidia drivers. I have downloaded and installed them from nvidia's website and have been running without issue. My problem is that the 'nvidia-utils' package now wants to be upgraded, and the upgrade wants to install files that are already installed from the stock nvidia driver.
When I try to upgrade I get the following error:
(435/435) checking for file conflicts [#####################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
nvidia-utils: /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.195.36.15 exists in filesystem

Is the nvida-utils package required by other packages? If so, how can I tell? I looked here: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … dia-utils/ and it says that it is only required by the 'nvidia' package....
Can this be safely removed?

> Is there a way to tell if nvidia-utils is a dependency for other packages installed on my sytem?
Sure: 'pacman -Qi nvidia-utils | grep Required'. If you get "Required By : None" then pacman know of no deps.
You can also 'pacman -Rs nvidia-utils' and pacman either will remove the package and all the other unneeded packages or will tell you that some package needs nvidia-utils.
> It's best not to install without pacman.
+1 The nVidia webpage will tell which ones you need for your card, but you use install the drivers via pacman.

How to get debugging symbols for libGL.so.1 library? (nvidia-utils)

Hello all
Will see, I am getting many crashes of applications in KDE. In the majority of these accidents I get a backtrace from KBugbuster (or whatever that application is called) that includes the library libGL.so.1. Here a small example:
#0 0xb7888424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xb54d198b in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#2 0xb57740ec in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3 0xb2926af3 in vlc_cond_wait () from /usr/lib/libvlccore.so.4
#4 0xb28a412e in ?? () from /usr/lib/libvlccore.so.4
#5 0xafac170c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
#6 0x00000000 in ?? ()
I know libGL.so.1 is a library included into nvidia-utils package becouse:
$ pacman -Ql | grep /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
I downloaded the PKGBUILD for nvidia-utils through abs and I changed it a bit by adding the !strip flag at the option field:
options=('!strip')
But it did not work. Today, still, I don't have debugging symbols for libGL.so.1. I have corroborated this using nm command:
$ nm -a /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
nm: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: no symbols
Watching the PKGBUILD for nvidia-utils I see this is not a build, apparently it only download the files and put them in the appropriate places. I think this is why the flag !strip does not work in this case.
So I have looked for information at the official nvidia site for compiling libGL.so.1 by myself but only appears complex information for developers not for a end user like me.
Can anyone guide me or something with this? please.
Thanks so much.

Hi Alexander,
As you need read-only access to the SBO database, you could use a straight database connection. You could maybe use the following Microsoft php extension:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=ccdf728b-1ea0-48a8-a84a-5052214caad9&displaylang=en
The Web Service wrapper for the DI Server is a good solution if you want to be able to write data back to SBO. Please note the DI Server requires additional licensing from SAP.
You don't mention what database platform is used by your e-shop site. An alternative approach would be to use an integration tool (something like Pentaho) to pull or push data between the e-shop database and the SBO database (again, this is only possible for reading data from SBO not writing).
Kind Regards,
Owen

I tried Googling for this issue but I am not succeededing.
Can anyone advise what I can do to troubleshoot this?

Thank you for that link.
I checked the first two /usr/bin/ldbadd and /usr/bin/ldbdel and no package owns them. So I ran:
sudo pacman -S --force lib32-libdbus
because now I got:
:: Replace lib32-dbus-core with multilib/lib32-libdbus? [Y/n]
because I just enabled multilib in order to upgrade skype (which worked). Anyhow, the install of lib32-libdbus worked fine, but
pacman -Syu
still gives all the errors above. Should I try to rename all those files?
Your title however is misleading - nothing says files are missing, the problem is those files are already there but pacman doesn't know why.
Well, I also see this:
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/ldb-1.1.16-1/desc: No such file or directory
as well as another. So something does appear to be missing to me.
