Pacman kernel update cannot resolve dependency [SOLVED]

Hi guys, I'm new to Arch and I just installed today! I'm working with Pacman currently, and trying to perform a system update. However, when I try to upgrade the kernel with pacman -Syu kernel26, it says I could not satisfy dependencies for ndiswrapper and tiacx because I need a newer kernel. But I'm trying to install a newer kernel! Plus, they don't seem like they matter for a kernel anyways. Can someone explain to me what is going on? Thanks, I appreciate it!
Last edited by sunnieside-up (2011-08-11 09:16:11)

No, pacman is telling you that it can't install the newer kernel because tiacx and ndiswrapper require an older kernel than what pacman is trying to upgrade you to. You'll need to remove those packages if you want to upgrade because we no longer support them in the binary repos.
In the future, posting actual output rather than paraphrasing is greatly appreciated.

I do not thing archbang is officially archlinux distributions (you are on an archlinux forum). This error does not appear on the current archlinux distribution. My guess is that here is a confusion between python / python2 / python3. Just run pacman -Si to know (or the equivalent of pacman for archbang).
I would suggest you to use the official archlinux instead of this fork, archlinux has much more support and users and I do not quite understand what archbang has to offer: Their homepage said that it is archlinux combined with openbox, but you can just do
pacman -S openbox
on arch; it does not seems to justify a fork (but please correct me if I am wrong).

error: cannot resolve "libusb1", a dependency of "libdc1394"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: libdc1394: requires libusb1
I needed libdc1394 only for gstreamer-plugins-bad, so I removed those. Wanted to try out if I need them anyway. But... What if? Is this a bug, did I do something wrong or did I just update while the required version isn't up yet and should unset testing again?
EDIT: Uh, sorry, yes, I guess that's just me not waiting for the files to be distributed to the servers I guess.
EDIT2: At least looks like it, should wait & think instead of type and type. Me drinking to much coffee. Marking thread as "stupid" instead of "solved" now.

Seems like you have community-testing (repo containing (newer) virtualbox-modules) enabled but not testing (containing (newer) linux), which strikes me as odd. Edit: or you need to refresh databases first...

Package install fails (cannot resolve gpgme)

I am using the latest netinstall image (2011.08.19)
When I get to installing packages, I get this error:
Cannot resolve "gpgme", a dependency of "pacman"

Never-mind, updating the install environment is definitely not working.
While the install environment updates just like any other already installed arch system, once I get it all up to date, running the install script breaks. /arch/setup starts the install dialog like normal, but when I go to select the first step, I get an error:
ERROR: ask_checklist makes only sense if you specify at least 1 thing (tag,item and ON/OFF switch)
after which I get kicked back out to the shell. I'm assuming that something I updated isn't backwards compatible with something in /arch/setup, but that's as far as my knowledge of this goes.
If anyone else has ideas, I'll give them a shot.

Virtualbox-modules cannot resolve dependecies

resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "kernel26<2.6.26", a dependency of "virtualbox-modules"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: virtualbox-modules: requires kernel26<2.6.26

this is because the vm* pkg theoretically has o support for the newer kernel yet
o either rebuild it and see if it works against the new one
find a patch for the new kernel and rebuild
or if you don't use it currently you could force the upgrade
pacman -Syud (d to ignore the dependency)
this way you can continue to test the new pkgs
you may wanna check the bug tracker a more permanent fix(patch) may have been submitted there
if there exists a bug report

Installation of Archboot: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts"

Hi,
I'm trying to install the latest Archboot. My existing host is using kernel 3.1.9-2 but Archboot seems to need kernel26. When I try to install it with pacman, it says:
warning: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts>=2.6.32.46-1", a dependency of "archboot"
warning: cannot resolve "kerenl26-lts>=2.6.32", a dependency of "noveau-drm-lts"
warning: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts<2.6.33", a dependency of "nouveau-drm-lts"
Do I really need to install kernel26 items? I'm hesitant because I really like the nice minimal system I have at the moment.
tia!

kernel26-lts has been renamed to linux-lts when Linux 3.0 became LTS, so your ArchBoot must be out of date...
In fact "pacman -Si archboot | grep kernel" returns nothing.
However:
$ pacman -Si nouveau-drm-lts | grep kernel
Depends On : kernel26-lts>=2.6.32 kernel26-lts<2.6.33
This package is orphan, which must be the reason why it's not up to date.
I suppose you could use abs to rebuild nouveau-drm-lts against kernel 3.0... Maybe .

Error: cannot resolve dependencies for "avahi"

Greetings:
I get the following message when I run paman -Syu
:: Replace mkinitrd with mkinitcpio from "current"? [Y/n]
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "avahi":
"dbus" is not in the package set
So, I thougth I'd get rid of avahi, but pacman -R avahi returns:
error: this will break the following dependencies:
avahi: is required by gnome-vfs
I've tried removing dbus from the daemons in rc.conf. I've tired restating dbus folloing instrcutions from another thread here.
Pacman -Ss dbus returns:
community/perl-net-dbus 0.33.3-1
Perl extension for the DBUS message system
So I am thinking, and am probably completely wrong, that pacman is searching for a repo with dbus in it?
Color me stumped.

Yes, I have the default install one uncommented:
[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra
Should I add a different one?
