I have installed for now by simply removing the
<=3.4
requirement but only out of frustration. I'm at a loss as to why pacman would be complaining, I see the bit about 'LLVM 3.4 is broken' but for one, 3.4 is already installed from [extra] and for two, 3.3 ought to meet the criteria. All help/explanation appreciated.

Nope, doesn't work that way. Try it yourself.

[Solved] Installed as dependency for what package?

I was wondering, how can I find out what package has required the installation of another package? For example:
[~ ]$ pacman -Qi gegl
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
I couldn't find any option that would show me more info on this.

[~ }$ pacman -Qi gegl
Required By : gimp
Do you have gimp installed?

SUGGEST:"Installed as a dependency for another package" -What package?

When we run "pacman -Qi" and the name of a package, ex: xulrunner (dependency of firefox), in the end, this shows up:
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
My suggestion is that it should show what package was it installed as a dependency of. Let me explain better. In this specific example, in my system, xulrunner was installed as a dependency of firefox, so, according to my suggestion, it should show exactly this:
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package - firefox
As you can see in bold, my suggestion adds firefox after showing that it was installed as a dependency.
I hope a Pacman/Arch Linux developer sees this topic and develop that feature,

Unlikely, tbh. Feature requests should be posted in the bugtracker.
Also.. the same pacman -Qi output already provides a 'Required By' which tells you which apps depend on the one you're looking at. Not quite the same, I know, but almost.

Missing dependency for Supertux package [staging] TUR

I did a :
pacman -Syu
pacman -S staging/supertux
supertux
Then it complains about missing libmikmod.so.2
I rebooted and retried. No success.
The I did a
pacman -S libmikmod
and it worked !
Have other people experienced that issue ?
When I do a
ldd /usr/bin/supertux
, the libmikmod is mentioned.
However, pacman did not install it with the package...
Did I find a missing dependency for that package or am I doing something wrong ?

It's a bug in sdl_mixer, I noticed this with another SDL game when I wanted to package it, it complained about no sound because of a non-working SDL_Mixer. Installing libmikmod resolved the problem.
This bug has been reported two days ago.

[SOLVED] Cron doesn't like me :

Hello everyone.
Sorry if this is a noob question. I'm not really new to linux. But this time I simply have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I have this router which needs a connection traffic every few minutes to keep the connection up. So I wanted to use cron to fire wget every 5 minutes. The only problem is that cron doesn't seem to work for me.
Here is my cron file:
# root crontab
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY! USE crontab -e INSTEAD
# man 1 crontab for acceptable formats:
# <minute> <hour> <day> <month> <dow> <tags and command>
# <@freq> <tags and command>
# SYSTEM DAILY/WEEKLY/... FOLDERS
@hourly ID=sys-hourly /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.hourly
@daily ID=sys-daily /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.daily
@weekly ID=sys-weekly /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly ID=sys-monthly /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.monthly
*/5 * * * * wget -pc --tries=30 http://pl.wikipedia.org/images/wikimedia-button.png
Cron daemon is obviously up and running. Any help would be appreciated :<

That's some of the last lines of crond.log.
I know it doesn't work simply because the last modified timestamp on the file and the directory does not change \o/

Any tool like pkgtool2 exists for simple packaging

I have used pkgtool2 [from Slackware]
and know enough to get by with making TGZ out of a tree
and some about making RPMs
if there a tool in the works for simplfying package building ?

galen wrote:doh, of course I know that
pkgtool2 can be simply to use
makepkg is not
i dont know pkgtool2 really good (only tried once) ... but i built rpm's --- this is torture compared to makepkg (with namcap)
makepkg takes maybe longer in the beginning ... with your first PKGBUILD created you start having a nice collection of PKGBUILD.templates and after some built packages you know how to build others fast
and makepkg has a great advantage: once you have a textfile (PKGBUILD) you can build the package really easy ... also when the version changes or something else
the only thing you have to have when using makepkg: have an editor you really like and you are able to work fast with ... nothing else is needed (well, an internet-connection for downloading the sources )

[solved] bigpkg doesn't like /var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION

I can't use bigpkg anymore, because it expects everything in /var/lib/pacman/local/ to be a directory:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bigpkg/ -> http://allanmcrae.com/scripts/bigpkg
Here are the important lines:
LOCAL_DB_PATH="/var/lib/pacman/local"
file = LOCAL_DB_PATH + "/" + dir + "/desc"
f = open(file, "r")
After running 'pacman-db-upgrade', /var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION was placed there
$ pacman -Qo /var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION
error: No package owns /var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION
$ cat /var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION

$ bigpkg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bigpkg", line 83, in <module>
parse_package_info(pkg, dir)
File "/usr/bin/bigpkg", line 51, in parse_package_info
f = open(file, "r")
NotADirectoryError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION/desc'
I can remove that file and make bigpkg work again, but it breaks pacman:
error: failed to initialize alpm library
(database is incorrect version: /var/lib/pacman/)
error: try running pacman-db-upgrade
Is it a bug? If not, can someone please fix bigpkg? I don't speak python, so I can't do it myself :-(

[Solved] IgnorePkg doesn't seem to work for me, what am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to prevent "pacman -Syu" from installing the package "xf86-video-ati-6.12.192-1" onto my system and no matter what I try in "IgnorePkg" in pacman.conf it always installs this pkg. I've tried both "xf86-video-ati" and "xf86-video-ati-6.12.192-1" in the "IgnorePkg" but pacman always wants to install this package. If I delete it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg it will still download this pkg and install it.
What is it that I'm doing wrong?

[SOLVED] Tmux doesn't parse the configuration for ~/.tmux.conf

Similar to the issue found here, although since the solution posted does not work, I have nothing to go off of. I did a trace on tmux, and it's reading the configuration file (also, even a removed ~/.tmux.conf doesn't have it read /etc/tmux.conf), but it isn't actually executing the commands I put in there. I can source configuration manually inside tmux, so it's a minor annoyance at best. Permissions are 644, it's in where it's supposed to read, but for some reason it just isn't parsing.
My tmux configuration right now:
set-option prefix C-a
set status-fg brightgreen
set status-right "#[fg=brightwhite] (>^,^)><(^,^)><(^,^)><(^,^<) #[fg=brightgreen] #T #[fg=brightwhite] <(^,^<*>^,^)> #[fg=brightwhite] %F %T"
set status-right-length 100
set status-interval 1
set status-bg blue
bind C-a select-window -t !
bind C-n select-window -t +
bind C-p select-window -t -
bind C-Space select-window -t +
bind Space select-window -t +
I've also killed the server and removed the socket and directory at /tmp/tmux-$(id -u)/ to no avail including a quick reboot. I've also tried starting with tmux -f ~/.tmux.conf, also to no avail. Am I missing something?

I figured it out. First off, I needed to use set -g in order to get the options set globally, otherwise they would be thrown away. For all the keys I wanted to rebind, I needed to unbind them first. All in all, I finally figured it out, but I don't remember actually needing to unbind the keys before rebinding them.

Pacman throws "unrecognized archive format" error for .xz packages

Hi,
I am recently getting the following error while installing packages which are in .xz format only.
for e.g.
sudo pacman -S pacman //works fine. as it is packaged in a .gz format
sudo pacman -S xterm // error while reading pakage /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xterm-261-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz -- unrecognized archive format: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character.
I tried using the -U switch to install it -- I got the following little different message:
$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xterm-261-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
error: error while reading pakage /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xterm-261-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz: unrecognized archive format: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character.
error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xterm-261-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz': libarchive error
I have libarchive-2.8.4-1 on my system ( I have reinstalled it. )
[more info]
I used ltrace to see what is happening, here is the trace around the point where I am getting the error:
alpm_trans_commit(,,, <unfinished ...>
printf("checking package integrity...\n")
fflush(...)
dcgettext(0, 0x805x690, 5, ...) = 0x8058690 ---- AFAIK, this one gets local specific string

[Solved] Pacman fails to satisfied java-runtime dependency on upgrade

Hi. So I haven't been able to upgrade yesterday or today because of this bug. I couldn't figure out how to solve it on my own.
This is what happens when I try to upgrade:

There could be something I don't understand though. Any help is appreciated.

Karol's advice did not worked for me, so I did this:
pacman -Rdd jre7-openjdk-headless
and after that this:
pacman -S jre7-openjdk
and then the update worked as it should. Hope that helps somebody.
Not sure what was the issue in your case, but I did say "Try to ignore the conflicts and see if it works out." and by that I meant the '-dd' switch.
Now I see I should have been explicit about it as my comment doesn't make it clear at all.

[SOLVED] Pacman's "Depends On" field

When I query how much space firefox is going to take and what its dependencies are I get a list and a value which are very different from what I get when I actually try to install it. Can somebody please explain why is it like that?

Thanks guys, I understood that. What I wonder about is what use is "depends on" line if it does not show recursive dependencies? Is there a reason to why it doesn't?
The way it is now I can't tell how much is going to be installed and what until I try to install the package.
There are some tools that attempt to do that, but if you're so smart, tell me, would you count xulrunner as a firefox dependency if you already have it installed as a dependency for another package? There were similar discussions on the forums and there may be some similar feature requests in the bug tracker.
Nowadays people may have sh*tty cpus, so they prefer binary-based distro to a source-based one. They may have not that mush RAM, so they like lightweight apps, but most people have enough of harddrive space to simply install the thing, try it out and keep it if they like it - not because it's small, but because it works for them.
With due respect but I find your language offensive. I didn't say that I am smart and I did not even challenge the way things are. I asked *why* they are the way they are.
In answer to your question, xulrunner is a dependency because without it firefox won't run. Maybe what I am looking for is not a list of first-order dependencies for a package but a list of packages to be downloaded and installed with the package. In the context of your question, xulrunner would not be on that list as it already is installed.
I agree with you about the disk space. The disk space is not my concern. I just wanted to know why pacman does not display what packages will be downloaded and installed before I actually run install (as a root).
Despite I have not received an answer to my question, I now begin to think it was a design decision. I wonder if having this information displayed in addition to what pacman -Si already displays would be useful. The rationale would be that it is not reasonable to su or sudo just to find out how many packages need to be downloaded and installed to get some package working.

[SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
[root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/extra could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/community could not be read
:: Synchronizing package databases . . .
error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
Any tips as to whats going on? I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.
