[SOLVED] gnupg and gnupg2 in conflict after trying to upgrade

Hey there!
I just tried to update my system with the regular
sudo pacman -Syu
and ran into the following:
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: udev will be installed before its util-linux dependency
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: gnupg and gnupg2 are in conflict. Remove gnupg2? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-6
if i try to upgrade my system or install any new packages i am asked to upgrade pacman which results in the error above.. hitting "y" will result in the message above, hitting "n" will just abort the update..
i found one thread with a similar issue ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139229 ), but i didn't really get any further with it.. besides that i found a pastebin ( http://pastebin.com/WBgXmSqJ ) with the exact same issue, but i couldn't find any other links or references to the said pastebin on the web..
i would be happy to supply further information but i am not sure about what kind of information is useful here..

edit: after finding this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139412 (dealing with gcc-libs and not gnupg which i was searching for) i upgraded pacman by itself as Dav suggested.. another pacman -Syu outputs the following:
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace gnupg2 with core/gnupg? [Y/n]
since i am not using gnupg anyway and the replacement should be due to the implementation of the keyring functionality in the latest pacman version, i am assuming i cant do any harm with that replacement? i will just postpone the update, wait for possible replies and do the update tomorrow if no warnings popped up here.. after i upgraded i will mark the thread as solved.. sorry for the thread.. it appears i have been searching in the wrong places..
edit2: as suggested by Gcool and karol i just agreed to replace gnupg2 after updating pacman by itself and, as expected, it fixed the issue nicely. thanks!

Packages sometimes get merged or split, renamed, moved from one repo to another or dropped to the AUR.
Different issues may require different approaches to solve / make sure you're doing it right. Usually it's OK to just agree to what pacman suggests.
If you're curious what happened, check one of the recent commits to the gnupg package [1] that talks about fixing a bug [2]

  • [SOLVED]Cannot upgrade pacman because gnupg and gnupg2 are in conflict

    I have tried a system update with "pacman -Syu". Pacman says that pacman needs to be upgraded first. I let this happen. Then I get the conflict. Both paths (remove gnupg2 and not remove gnupg2) fail.
    :: gnupg and gnupg2 are in conflict. Remove gnupg2? [y/N] y

    Since any incosistency between gcc and its related libraries are usual fatal, I prefer not to experiment.

    What OS is on the Install/Restore DVD that came wit your G5? If Tiger 10.4.x, you will need a black, retail Leopard install DVD. There is no free download of Leopard, only free updates once you have installed the base OS.
    First use your Mac's Install/Restore DVD to install an OS & apps. Then upgrade the OS.
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

  • Hi, I can not open iTunes unless my computer is connected to my work network. I have tried to uninstall and install and nothing. I have tried to upgrade quick time, no luck.

    Hi, I can not open iTunes unless my computer is connected to my work network. I have tried to uninstall and install and nothing. I have tried to upgrade quick time, no luck.

    In regards to the location of the media folder it was located on the network however I changed it to a local directory. Should I try unistall and install with the correct media library?

  • ITunes is giving me a runtime error and won't load after trying to install update

    Hello Scottee2hottee,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
    3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
    Best of luck,

  • After trying to upgrade, I got the error 3014 and now I can't get the iPad to do anything. It continually shows the "plug in to iTunes" icon.  How do I get past this problem?

    Can't restore, can't power off, and pc can't detect iPad.  Error code 3014 when trying to upgrade.  Can't even restore to original settings. Opened Hosts files and I did not see 127....gs.apple.com, or other suggested files.  Pls help.

    Did you see the very end of this about not having enough space left on your computer specific to therror code 3014?
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
    Error 3002: If you experience this error while updating an iPod touch (2nd generation) or iPhone 3G, please use the standard update or restore process in iTunes (click Update or Restore).
    Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.

  • Lightroom and MAC Pro (intel) after Snow Leopard Upgrade?

    I have heard several horror stories about serious operational problems with Lightroom and MACs after they have upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    I have been trying to get to the bottom of it, but all I have been able to glean is that yes, there are some issues, but I can't find out cause and effect.
    Since I heard of the things I have not opened any Adobe Software, and won't until I can be assured that I too don't experience the same horror story.
    Are there any people out there that have experienced any of these problems?  If so, do you know what caused them, and, more importantly, how to fix them?
    Thank you for any help and direction you can provide.

    Some users have reported that Edit in Photoshop CSx functionality is partially broken (e.g. Open as Smart Object launches Photoshop, but image doesn't actually open).
    With Photoshop (and many other applications) there are reports of the application crashing when the user tries to save a JPG file.
    Source of problem? Snow Leopard
    Is it really the problem that some would have you believe? Nope
    Are there any workarounds? Ask Apple
    BTW: I use Snow Leopard and don't have a problem recommending it to others.

  • I lost all of my information after trying to upgrade to iOS 5

    Hello.
    i have ipod touch 4th gen, 32 GB.
    just tried upgrading to iOS 5.
    first had issues with downloading. finally managed to download.
    now i does not let me restore my information after installing iOS 5.
    first it tells me "10 minutes remaining". then the time goes up and up. after it reaches 10 hours, error messege pops "iTunes could not restore because backup could not be saved on this computer":
    http://i.imgur.com/FLLd0.png
    same thing happens when i restore to default, and then try to restore again from my backup.
    i am frastrated. i have a serious headache. 5 hours of trying to upgrade. i really want to CRY (really).
    i REALLY need ALL of my information. including contacts, calendar and internal information of application i bought (like 2Do, awesome note etc.). i can not afford myself losing all of this information. i have no other backup. this information worth more then 5k $ to me.
    what can i do? i need HELP.
    only thing it let me restore is my music.

    Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file. If you get a successfull backup you can delete the moved backup.  The backup is located:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • Error installing or removing Itunes after trying to upgrade to 7.6

    Hi There,
    I recently tried to upgrade to 7.6 from 7.5 and this has caused me some issues.
    Firstly when upgrading a dialog box opens stating that itunes.msi cannot be found in local settings - however it was there. I manually moved to the path still to no avail.
    I followed all steps to remove itunes and do a clean install - as stated in the support site "how to uninstall section". This failed at the add remove stage. Stating "The older version of itunes cannot be removed. Please contact your technical support group".
    As there was no add remove option I removed all references to itunes in my local settings folder, program files and registry and went to reinstall, however I am still getting the same message above when tryin to install.
    Now I am stuck with no version of itunes at all on my PC. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
    Do Apple have a default "scrubber" that will remove all reference/instances of itunes?
    Many Thanks,
    Martin

    I'm having the same exact problem! The only diffrerence is that I haven't unistalled my current version and it still works. But I REALLY want those new iPod Touch Apps! But they require 7.6! Why is it when ever Apple does something great for us they some how find a way to screw us at the same time.
    I don't want a scrubber however cause that migth wipe my settings and or library. Instead I want a magic file that fixes what ever apple screwed up and intalls 7.6!
    ....Or I suppose a copy of iTunes.msi for my version would do to....
    My iTunes version is 7.4.3.1
