error: cannot resolve "readline>=6.0", a dependency of "gnutls"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnutls: requires readline>=6.0
[meskarune@Lychee ~]$
I'm really stumped...The lastest version of readline pacman sees is 5.2.013-2 but I found it here:http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/readline/ I downloaded the source for readline 6.0 on here http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html. Will it screw everything up if I install it?
I know that packages should all stay up to date together and I read in a few forum posts that upgrading to readline 6.0 messed up other packages. Should I downgrade gnutls? I'm not sure what to do. I just want to update my system...
Oh and I am not currently using testing. Thanks for any help.

As I understand it, there's a delay between when a package gets pushed to the Arch main servers and when it reaches the mirrors. It seems like packages compiled against the new readline and readline itself weren't all put up at the same time. You can either wait for the new readline to be pushed to your mirror of choice, or edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and comment out mirrors that haven't been updated since the readline update.
Edit: Oddly enough, the svn entries for gnutls[1] and readline[2] indicate they were both pushed at the same time. I had the same problem as you earlier though, so maybe it's a mirror problem of some sort...

[Solved] Can't upgrade system - cups related problem

Hi,
I can't upgrade (pacman -Syu) my system due some cups related problems.
AS you can see, although the problem seems to be cups related, none of the other packages has been upgarded as well.
Please advise.:mad:
Thanks,

Dear Apple...I know time marches on but unfortunately you have become useless to those of us who can't upgrade systems or afford Iphones. So my itunes is totally unavailalbe since ipods can't work w/Itunes 9, so all the $ I spent is out the window! I have been an apple mac user since the Blue Tower in early 2000. The fact that I recently replace a stolen Ipod Classic and it isn't compatible w/iTunes9 is really screwed up. You have failed many!

What is your question?

warning: removing 'libgl' from target list because it conflicts with 'nvidia-utils'

A little bit aggravating, it kindly removes libgl from the list because of a conflict then fails out because it's required.
I used nouveau as my graphics driver for a year or two when I first set up this system, but it started giving me weird slowdowns and errors so I tried switching to the proprietary drivers (I know, shame shame) which fixed it. I'm not surprised that they're not compatible, but when I tried to figure out how to remove nouveau I see that it is built into the kernel? I followed the directions as explicitly as possible when installing nvidia so I'm not sure where I went wrong.
Right now, I can't upgrade and I would really like to avoid the pitfall of just blacklisting nouveau-dri. I'd rather invest the work into actually fixing the problem.
I would appreciate any advice.

IIRC since version 1.0.2-2 xf86-video-nouveau depends on nouveau-dri which in turn depends on libgl which conflicts with nvidia because Nvidia provides their own libgl implementation.
This might help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nv … au_drivers
Thank you, that was quite helpful. The script to switch from nouveau to nvidia includes the line to remove the packages libgl, nouveau-dri, and xf86-video-nouveau. I tried running just that line and it failed out because nouveau-dri and libgl aren't actually installed. How irritating! However, I was able to remove xf86-video-nouveau, and after that pacman has gotten past the dependency check and is installing packages so I think this is fixed.
Big kudos for all the help, marking this solved.

OpenVZ - can't upgrade system

Hi, so I have an OpenVZ VPS, and when I do pacman -Syu, it returns lots of errors, which means I can't upgrade it like that.
I looked at this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … _for_glibc
but the problem is that
this link:
https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz … ibc-2.16.0-101-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
doesn't work, and
pacman -U https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz … ibc-2.16.0-100-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
returns the error
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/bin/tzselect exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zdump exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zic exists in filesystem
My glibc is currently on version 2.12-2, and uname -r returns 2.6.18-308.el5.028stab099.3.
Is there any way of going about this so I can have my Arch Linux system up to date?

Can a VPS be updated just like that? Aren't any newer Arch images available?
The system you have the is age old and updating will be a real PITA.
Edit: https://dev.archlinux.org/~ibiru/openvz/glibc-vps/i686/ provides newer glibc versions too e.g. glibc-2.17-103.
Another thing: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post
Note that you should avoid using [CLOSED], which is instead used by the system to mark a thread which is no longer accessible for new posts.

hi, really sorry as I said I'm somewhat of a newbie, was waiting to see what you guys thought might be relevant so I could tell you what I've got, here goes:
graphics card: nvidia geforce GTX660.
DE/WM (I assume is desktop environment): gnome
unsure about how I start X (sorry I understand I am a newbie)
oh and everything does seem to be hanging, ctrl-c does nothing.
there were no messages from the update, I checked pacman and didn't see any warnings, (is there any kind of log I can check in case I missed something?), I've chrooted into the disk through the installation medium to reinstall the graphics card drivers (as suggested here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153206)

[SOLVED] Can't upgrade due to libtool and libltdl

I'm trying to upgrade my system using
pacman -Syu --ignore glibc,curl
due to the "/lib exists on filesystem" errors according to the advice on the wiki. However, I'm still getting the following error:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Any ideas how to resolve this?
(I've tried searching but only found problems related to libltdl and libtool-multilib, which have been fixed meanwhile.)

How can i upgrade system IOS images of routers, switches and firewalls

Hi,
I am very much surprised and less of understanding yet how Cisco's licensing program or IOS upgrades are done. I have many routers, switches & ASA's of whom i wan to upgrade the IOS's but i cannot do so. How ever i can download those images from internet but i want to know how can i do this from Cisco as i don't want to trust those IOS's available over internet.
As per my study what i have found that i need to have Cisco Service Contract number for that devices so that i can download updated IOS Images for them.
Someone kindly explain what are the best methods for the above requirements.
Regards
@Mohammed

You're correct regarding a service contract. Cisco calls this Smartnet support. It includes both hardware support (i.e. returns for failed hardware), software support (including right to download and upgrade your software) and technical assistance (via the Cisco TAC). Smartnet is charged separately for each covered device. Once you have it, your cisco.com userid needs to be associated with your service contract number. Doing that will then allow you to download the software from cisco.com. (There are some very limited cases in which you don't have to have a support contract - mostly when there is a security advisory (PSIRT) indicating the Cisco software was flawed as it was initially released.)
Every product (or product family) has a product support page on cisco.com. That page includes release notes, configuration guide, users guides, and a link to software downloads for that product. Start by reading the release notes and determining which (if any) upgrade is appropriate for your product. Then you can download and upgrade the software as necessary.

Can I upgrade the processor on my laptop? If so, what processors are compatible for my system?

I have an HP Pavillion dv6-2150us, which runs an Intel Core i3 @ 2.13 GHz, 8 GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Can I upgrade this processor and if so, what processors are compatible to this system?

First think about memory and an SSD drive. Laptop processor upgrades are a big hassle and not cheap.

My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?

You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:

In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added.

Have an IMac 7.1, desktop system 10.4.11, 2.8 GHz, 4MB, 4GB. what can I upgrade to? What do I need to buy and how high can I go?

You can replace one of the 2 GB RAM sticks with a 4 GB stick for a total max. RAM of 6 GBs.
Here are the specs.
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
Purchase reliable Mac RAM from online vendors Crucial or OWC (Other World Computing).
The highest OS X version you can go is OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
First, though, you need to purchase a retail disc version of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in order to download upgrade to OS X 10.8.
Purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Use Software update, in OS X Preferences Pane to update to the latest version of OS X 10,6 Snow Leopard before upgrading OS to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
OS X 10,6.8 will install the Mac App Store icon in OS X's Application Dock.
From there, you can launch the Mac App Store and download and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Use Sofware Update again to update to the latest version of Mountain Lion.
Be advised, you may want to play around in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard before updating to OS X 10.8 Mt. Lion.
Some users aren't happy with the Hybrid OS X/iOS functionality of OS X 10.8 Mounatin Lion.
If you upgrade to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and aren't happy with it, the only way to return to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is wipe the internal drive, reformat it, then reinstall OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
You might want to consider purchasing an external FireWire hard drive, format it so you can install OS X 10,6 Snow Leopard and all of its updates onto the internal drive, use a copying/cloning app like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to make a duplicate of your internal drive to the external FireWire drive as a backup that you can reinstall onto your internal drive just in case you find you are not happy with the look and functionality of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Good Luck!
