[SOLVED] Dependency tracking

Hello,
I had some updates available yesterdays, among others:
- libgadu,
- mplayer,
- gnutls.
I didn't want to restart machine right away, so I upgraded only libgadu and mplayer. Then, when trying to start mplayer or kadu (which uses libgadu) a got an error about missing libgnutls.so.30. After full system update everything works fine, but I wonder why did dependency tracker allow such upgrade? Shouldn't gnutls be forced to upgrade along with libgadu and mplayer?
cheers,
awes

DBA_DEPENDENCIES: 11gR2 fine-grained dependency tracking -- which columns??

DBA_DEPENDENCIES is great, but I need to know the dependent columns. Given that 11g supports fine-grained dependency tracking... for example:
create view emp_view as
select emp_no, emp_name
from employees
where emp_no in (select emp_no from employees where hire_date > sysdate-2000)
EMP_VIEW only exposes EMP_NO and EMP_NAME.
If I drop the column EMPLOYEES.HIRE_DATE, Oracle will not invalidate objects that reference just EMP_NO and EMP_NAME, but in this case Oracle immediately invalidates EMP_VIEW because the view definition contains HIRE_DATE.
Where does Oracle store this column dependency? Only at the table/view/function level in DBA_DEPENDENCIES. Maybe in an X$ table somewhere?
Or does Oracle do an "on the fly" check for the dropped column in all dependent objects (seems messy).
Before I change any table or view, I want to know what else I may have to change without finding out the hard way. I can easily look at the view's column list, but if I have to go into the view text, or the function text... messy! Must be a better way.
Thanks.

Exactly what I needed. Not sure why I didn't find this with the ten different Google searches I did...

[SOLVED] Dependency conflict details - hidden in new yaourt

Hi folks,
after recent upgrade of yaourt (to version 0.9.4-2) its behavior has changed. Previously, when there were a dependency conflict, it printed the reason. But now, there's only generic message. In yaourt and yaourtrc manuals isn't said anything about this feature. Besides, pacman still shows required info.
Compare pacman output:
$ sudo pacman -Su

and yaourt one (surely less logical):

Is it a bug or a hidden feature? If it's a feature, how it can be reversed to normal output?
P.S. The reason of conflict is quite clear (new AUR packages), but only with pacman help (
Last edited by Kosmonavt (2010-06-09 10:04:26)

Sorry, forgot to mark the topic as solved ) This way didn't help. I needed to remove lib32-glibc with -Rd, and then build lib32-glibc-devel again. Then it grabbed dependencies in a right way. Otherwise there was a circle - lib32-glibc couldn't be upgraded because dependency problem blocked upgrading, but lib32-glibc-devel wouldn't compile because of old lib32-glibc .

It means that these two packages, directly or indirectly, are mutually dependent. Normally pacman installs dependencies of packages before the package itself, but this creates a catch-22 when packages depend on each other. In these cases, pacman is allowed to temporarily ignore (--assume-installed) one of the mutually dependent packages to install the other, as long as it is sure that both of them can be installed within the same pacman invocation. At least that's my understanding.
Great explanation. thanks. Marking as solved.

How to release plugin(solve dependency issues)

I've developed a illustrator plugin dependent on Qt library, it runs well on the develop machine.
The libOliveLib.dylib is a shared library which developed by Qt.
Following are the dependencies of the plugin:

And the dependencies of libOliveLib:

/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1213.0.0)
But when I deploy it to other machine, it crashed. I think it caused by dependency.
Any one has this issue before, could you please give me your suggestions or your solutions
Many hanks!

Hi LeoTaro,
Thanks for your response!
This issue can be solved by adding qt.conf file to folder "/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/Resources".
But this folder is Application resources folder or Adobe Illustrator, I think add qt.conf file to this folder doesn't make sense.
Is there any alternative ways?
I've also tried adding "QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath()" and "QCoreApplication::libraryPaths()", but it doesn't work.
Best Regards,
Jae Liu

[SOLVED] Dependency loop

:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
:: poppler requires installing fontconfig from IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] y
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: fontconfig conflicts with fontconfig-lcd. Remove fontconfig-lcd? [Y/n] y

:: cairo-lcd: requires fontconfig-lcd>=2.5.0
How would you proceed?
I would like to keep all my lcd packages, but at the same time I would like to upgrade poppler. I tried to ignore "fontconfig", but it's not possible to upgrade without it. Do I need to track down the poppler PKGBUILD and edit its dependencies? So far it seems the only feasible solution...

As a matter of fact, it does:
pkgname=fontconfig-lcd
_realname=fontconfig
pkgver=2.5.0
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="A library for configuring and customizing font access (with custom LCD filter)."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.fontconfig.org/release/"
license=('custom')
depends=('expat>=2.0' 'freetype2>=2.2.1')
provides=('fontconfig=2.5.0')
conflicts=('fontconfig')
<snip>
EDIT:
Ah! I just notice the "replaces" entry is missing. Perhaps that's where the problem resides. I'll add that and see how it goes.
Thanks
DOUBLEDIT:
Well, I've tried, but I still get that dependency loop... Could it be because the fontconfig package in the official repo is more updated than the on in the AUR? Gotta check that...
TRIPLEDIT:
Sorry for keeping doing this, but I got the problem: poppler depends on fontconfig 2.6.0, but the one in the AUR is 2.5.0. So I'll have to update that one.
Thanks for your help guys

[Solved]Wakoopa tracker not tracking

I've installed Wakoopa from AUR, but I have a problem with it. It doesn't seem to send my statistics to the Wakoopa website, the usage of my linux software doesn't show up on my profile. My Windows usage does.
I've started it from a terminal to debug the problem, but I can clearly see it connect to Wakoopa (I can even see it using my username and password). If I use the debug option, I can see fetches the software I am currently using properly. Yet the data doesn't seem to get to the Wakoopa website.

Possible issue with dependency tracking?

I was just thinning out my herd of packages and decided to remove the gnome package group.
I noticed that I couldn't remove control-center because it's required by compiz-git.
Edited the compiz-git PKGBUILD (DaNiMoTh's one from AUR)
to remove the gnome dependency and took control-center out of the 'depends,' array.
I then made and installed the modified package, but 'pacman -Qi control-center,' still showed
compiz-git in the 'Required By' field even though the new package no longer had the dependency.
Seems that if a package stops being a dependency the change isn't reflected in pacman.
I could just Pacman -Rd, but it feels messy in this situation, and I don't think it's the right approach.
Any thoughts on this?

It's a bug in pacman, fixed there:

[Solved] Dependency handling in makepkg / pacman -U

Hi everybody, I have a quick question about makepkg/pacman dependency resolution.
I have a 'fast' machine which I want to do all the compiling stuff, and a 'slow' machine, which I want to use .pkg.tar.gz built on the fast machine.
After downloading a PKGBUILD file from AUR (or the tarball, if any) on the 'fast' machine, I issue the following command to make the package (in this example the package to build is skype, but this situation is the same for any other package from AUR):
venator@venator ~/Desktop/My_Arch_packages/skype $ makepkg -Ss
This will install all skype's dependencies on my PC, which are:
depends=('qt4' 'alsa-lib' 'libxss')
The dependencies are installed and the package is correctly built.
Then I scp the .pkg.tar.gz to the 'slow' PC, and I install it via pacman -U, but I get this:
venator@laptop ~ $ sudo pacman -U skype-2.0.0.27-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Password:
loading package data... done.
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: skype: requires qt4
:: skype: requires alsa-lib
:: skype: requires libxss
The question is: why are the dependencies installed by makepkg but not by pacman? How can I install the .pkg.tar.gz AND all the required dependencies automatically?
Thanks and sorry if my question has already been answered, but I didn't find anything useful neither on the wiki nor on the forum.
Bye
Venator

pacman -U doesn't do dependency syncing. The easiest way to do what you want is to create a custom local repository, and add that to pacman.conf

[pacman] Provides and dependency tracking.

If I have a repo with package foo-git that provides foo, have package bar depends on foo, and no package foo, what will pacman do when trying to install bar? I have 3 variants:
1. Pacman will fail with cannot resolve dependences.
2. Pacman will install foo-git and bar.
What variant now, and what preferred?
Last edited by rilian-la-te (2015-04-19 19:52:01)

Pacman will only do what runical describes if those alternatives are present in the SAME repo .
Basically when pacman checks for dependencies, it goes through every repo listed in pacman.conf but stops once it has found that dependency.
say foo is present in [extra] and foo-git in [rilian-la-te-repo] .
If [extra] is above [rilian-la-te-repo] , pacman will always find foo in [extra] and install that version.
If you prefer pacman to use your version, you will have to list [rilian-la-te-repo] ABOVE [extra] .

[SOLVED] Time tracking app outside Gnome

I used to use hamster-applet in Gnome, which I loved for time tracking. Over the weekend I've converted myself to DWM, so using hamster is out. I've looked around and haven't found any real options other than a webapp called SlimTimer which I used back when I was on another OS which I won't mention by name. However, if available, I'd prefer something that can be used offline as well.
What are the tiling WM users doing for time tracking?
Last edited by falconindy (2009-11-29 18:06:17)

There are a few in the AUR. Just search on the http://aur.archlinux.org/ page for "time track" or the like.
If you do use yaourt, try a search like
yaourt -Ss track | grep time
Personally I used gnotime for several years. It still works but development has apparently ceased.

[SOLVED] Dependency problems Sun JDK, OpenJDK and Soprano

Hi there,
as I need the Sun JDK for programming, I wanted to replace OpenJDK with SunJDK. Here's what's happening:
schorsch@archie:~$ sudo pacman -S jdk
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: jdk conflicts with openjdk6. Remove openjdk6? [Y/n] Y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: jdk: requires jre
:: soprano: requires openjdk6
schorsch@archie:~$
What's the proper way to do this? Should I avoid having more than one java version installed on my machine? I guess so...
I'm doing quite a bit of java development and sometimes really need the latest Sun Java.
TIA,
Blackhole

Okay guys, I did a "pacman -Rd openjdk6 && pacman -S jdk" which worked fine:
schorsch@archie:~$ java -version

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode)
schorsch@archie:~$
However when I use Konqueror and go to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml in order to test my java version, it doesn't work.
More precisely the applet is not displayed at all. When I go to the Konqueror settings and to "Java & JavaScript", tick the checkbox "Use KIO" and refresh the page. I at least get a big gray square where the applet should be.
Do I have to install any additional java plugin? Is anybody out there using Konqueror with the Sun Jre?
//Edit: I've come across this: http://www.konqueror.org/javahowto/ but I was wondering whether this is already included in some Arch package. I don't wanna fiddle manually if there's a proper Arch way to do things.
