[SOLVED] pacman libgl dependecy thing

Hello,
I have a weird problem. I recently tried to remove orphant packages using the following ocmmand:
pacman -Rsn $(pacman -Qdtq)
Maybe this was not to smart, anyway my system still works fine, but when I try to make a full system update I get:
root@crimson:~ # pacman -Suy
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: cairo: requires libgl
:: dosbox: requires libgl
:: freeglut: requires libgl
:: glu: requires libgl
:: libva: requires libgl
:: mplayer: requires libgl
:: qt4: requires libgl
:: wxgtk: requires libgl
:: xorg-xdriinfo: requires libgl
It seems to be missing, since:
root@crimson:~ # pacman -Q libgl
error: package 'libgl' was not found
which stuns me, for this means the command I used to remove unused packages actually removed a package which was in use.
Anyway I tried to install the libgl package, but I have 4 options to choose:
root@crimson:~ # pacman -S libgl
:: There are 4 providers available for libgl:
:: Repository extra
1) mesa-libgl 2) nvidia-304xx-utils 3) nvidia-libgl
:: Repository community
4) catalyst-utils
Unfortunately each of them is in conflict with nvidia-utils. How can that be? libgl must have existed in my system before, doesn't it?
I don't really know how to fix this. If somebody has a clue or could help understand whats going on here I'd be really thankfull!
Regards,
Keen

Should help!
This is already solved, and at the time the OP states that "# pacman -Suy" was used.

I stand corrected, ignore this noise.

  • [SOLVED] Pacman Dependency error with nouveau-dri and libgl

    I am upgrading my system with
    sudo pacman -Syu
    The out put is as follows:
    :: Synchronizing package databases...

    :: nouveau-dri: requires libgl=7.10.1
    It seems that the newest libgl is 7.10.2-1, while the newest nouveau-dri(7.10.1-2) requires 7.10.1-1. An upgrade operation will upgrade the libgl from 7.10.1-1 to 7.10.2-1, which result in a conflict with nouveau-dri.
    Is there any workaround? Do I have to wait for the nouveau-dri update?
    THANKS!

    It turns out that this is because the mirror (mirrors.163.com/archlinux) I am using is broken. It is holding <libgl 7.10.2-1> without <nouveau-dri 7.10.1-2> and simultaneously. I changed to http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/ and the problem solves.
    You're welcome. The mirror is/was probably just affected by a partial sync (the letter l is earlier than n ).
    Yeah, that's a quite reasonable explaination :-)

  • [SOLVED] Pacman GPGME error: No data

    I recently bought a new computer and, of course, wanted to get away from windows 8 asap. I've installed arch several times before, and this time, from the outset, I've been plagued with GPGME errors. First was during the installation when I tried to install the base system with pacstrap. I solved that using the method here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=142798 (essentially delete /var/lib/pacman/sync and then run pacman -Syyu). From there on out, the install proceeded happily. After booting into my system, I attempted to begin downloading and installing things such as openssh, gparted, virt-manager...etc. Now I get the same error that I had before.
    pacman -Syyu
    error: GPGME error: No data
    error: GPGME error: No data

    error: failed to update core (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
    error: failed to synchronuze any databases
    error: failed to init transaction (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
    As soon as this happened, I attempted to re initialize pacman and the keys with
    pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinux
    This ran properly, but I was still unable to sync or update pacman. I then tried deleting /var/lib/pacman/sync and updating with the same result. 
    Next, I tried commenting out the mirrors, as that was mentioned in several posts while perusing the wiki. This still did not work. The next ting I tried was setting the SigLevel in the pacman.conf to Never, which brought about a whole host of different errors when trying to update (Unrecognized archive format error).
    After reinitializing the keys again, deleting the /var/lib/pacman/sync folder and attempting another (unsuccessful) pacman -Syyu, and running pacman-key --refresh-keys, I set the SigLevel back to it's default, and decided it might be time to post asking for help. Does anyone have any other ideas that I could try? I've been working on this unsuccessfully for a few hours now, and I'd like to see it up and running.
    Thank you all in advance!
    Searching the archwiki, I tried these threads for additional help:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1111872 -- had a problem in pacman conf I do not
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169225 --commenting out mirrors did not work

    ..... and many many more that were totally unrelated despite similar titles to mine

    I shutdown my computer, moved to a different network area, and it is now running happily. I have no idea why... perhaps firewall controls? Whatever the reason was, this is no longer happening. Marking as solved.

    :: qt4 and qt are in conflict
    So I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place here.
    Because when i say i DON'T want to replace qt..
    It says that qt4 and qt are in conflict and that i should remove qt anyway, even tho i never installed qt4 to begin with?
    When asked
    :: qt4 and qt are in conflict. Remove qt? [y/N] n
    Should i simply say yes here? and hope that it resolves itself, or will that screw up my GUI?
    Only reason why i'm not just go happy-go-lucky in this case is because i'm abroad traveling and kinda need my GUI, but i also need to update my kernel etc to be able to install Wine, which just happens to be a thing i need right now :P

  • [Solved] Pacman version handling

    Hello, I know the title isn't very descriptive but it is hard to resume the problem with a short line.
    I have found something I find strange about version handling of pacman. I wanted to give xorg-server 1.6 a try so I have enabled [testing], after upgrading xorg-server, libdrm, libgl and a few other packages I have disable [testing] so I could keep updating everything else from the other repos.
    When doing pacman -Syu, pacman warns that xorg-server and most other packages are more recent than the ones in the repos but it continues updating but for libdrm it goes postal, instead of just warning that libdrm is more recent and continue to update I guess it tries to actually downgrade it and then everything fails because libgl needs the version on [testing].
    If I do (with testing disabled) "pacman -Syu --ignore libdrm" then it warns some packages are more recent than the ones in the repos, and that it is ignoring libdrm and all goes well. Am I missing something here or is there a problem with pacman version handling?
    It tries to downgrade from libdrm 2.4.6 to libdrm 2.3.1 .... all other packages have a version like x.y and libdrm has a version like x.y.z ... maybe pacman gets confused ...

    I guess I was updating something using curl libraries, but not sure whats the best way to fix this.
    ldconfig -p | grep curl

    Not sure if this was the right thing to do but I also tried this from the first link.

  • [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: 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.

  • [SOLVED]pacman -Sf zim makes arch read-only filesystem

    Hi,
    Last night I was trying to install zim, it looks like there were a couple packages which weren't properly installed before.  I googled the error I received and found somewhere on the forum the tip to use
    pacman -Sf package
    I ran the command and it installed some sort of new kernel, fstab, something with python, and zim of course.  While it was installing the packages I noticed it moved a couple files around and I'm not quite sure what it all did. anyway when I booted arch this morning it didn't quite make it to gdm, so I quickly booted into ubuntu, mounted my arch partition changed the inittab to boot to init 3.  I then noticed that it mounted the arch / as read-only, I looked around a bit seems like my /etc/fstab was moved to /etc/fstab.pacorig. Now before I start playing around and maybe break things more than they are, anyone have a tip about how to figure out everything that was changed?
    I also noticed that I could login as root without having to use a password which I don't like at all, which is a little scary.

    First things first; using the -f/--force flag with pacman is the absolute last resort, when everything else fails, and when you know exactly what you're doing. Using it just because you found a tip on the forum, and clearly without thinking about the potential consequences, is just asking for trouble - and you've got it.
    To fix: your pacman log will tall you what packages were installed, and also has a record of any install-time messages. Comb through that, and work out how to revert the major issues.

  • [Solved]Pacman fails on sync

    Hello there Archlinux folks!
    Today, my beloved little home server, running Arch, was a real pain in the ... and I had to realize, the fact: I need the help of ppl who understand this better than I do.
    As a related matter, I just bought a Network Media Player today, so I needed to modify my server a bit, like setup XBMC for upnp sharing, and Pacman showed me a "funny error message". With all due respect, I cannot reproduce the original anymore, - but it looked kinda same - since I tried to sync pacman with the repositories, and that somehow altered the current setup. Also tried to enable another repositories, but it did not helped.
    Now if I try to install something, like # pacman -S xbmc the following error message is triggered:

    hiba is for error

    Telepít(telepítés, telepített) is for install(installing, installed)
    Then I interrupt it, since it takes a long time.
    The most confusing part is, that even a simple management command - like # pacman -Syu - is also triggering an error:

    @skunktrader: yes, I tried, no it did not helped.
    @karol: mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, a friend of mine hooked me up with this distro, and set it to be hungarian as default, now I know how to change it - to be honest, this language annoys the crap out of me.
    @TigTex: yes, the host is alive, I can even browse the contents.
    Thanks for all the help, as it turned out, the problem was hardware related. Time to put her down.

  • [solved] pacman can't acces repositories, but my web browser does

    Hi,
    there is a strange problem. Today I tried a pacman -Syu to update, but pacman can't acces my repositories. Gives me errors of
    error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.archlinux.ro : No address record
    I tried different mirrors, change the protocol from ftp to http, but without result. The strange think is that I can access those repositories with my web browser, so I think that it is pacman or python problem.
    My last entries in pacman's log are

  • [SOLVED] pacman: which package should I install for a given file?

    Hi there!
    I'm still trying to learn arch's essentials. A question coming up frequently is:
    Say I know I need file /usr/bin/zipinfo. How do I find out which package it's delivered in? The only thing remotely similar in the wiki is
    pacman -Qo /path/to/a/file
    but this only works for already installed packages. So what next?
    Best wishes,
    Rufus
    P.S.: google told me the package is called unzip so that's not the problem. Still, there has to be some way to get this information from the command line.

    brilliant, thanks! I could have figured it's not a standard pacman function (since the situation is similar with debian's apt-get).
    Maybe this is worth a mention on pacman's wiki page. This is the first time arch's fabulous wiki let me down

  • [SOLVED] Pacman -Syu on a (very) limited bandwidth

    Hi
    I've been using Arch for about a year, and I'm still pretty new to Linux and Arch. The reason I installed Arch in the first place was because of the how much control you have over your system, since you get to build it up according to your preferences. I absolutely love Arch for this and many other reasons.
    The problem I have is that I am limited to 500mb bandwidth a month. I know this wrong, but I always avoid pacman -Syu because of the 500mb limit. I avoid any necessary upgrading, and only upgrade packages that need to be upgraded whenever I need to install a new package that I need. I know very well that this is the wrong thing to do, but seeing as I am limited to 500mb a month (which I already use alot of, if not all, on university stuff), I don't see how I could possibly carry out frequent system upgrades. Could anyone give me some advice? Should I not be using a rolling release distro because of this?

    @JackH79
    Hope it'll work out all right for you. Would be a shame to lose you to an 'enemy distros' , just because of bandwidth restrictions.
    Thank you. Don't worry, getting me off Arch is not gonna be easy
    @syn
    So is the public library's wifi off limits?
    hmm...getting to the public library would be troublesome. I doubt most public libraries here have wifi anyways The uni library, as well as the rest of campus, gives us access to internet via wifi, but it has a ridiculous 150mb cap. Luckily, downloads on the uni network are unlimited, and I have a good feeling the Arch mirror is on the uni network. I'll just have to wait and see.
    @mvdvarrier
    Thank you. I was thinking about using Slackware, and it really helps knowing that the updates are small. I feel that I have found the solution because of my uni's arch mirror, but if that and all other attempts to stick to Arch fails, I think that sounds like a great plan B Still gonna try my best to keep Arch, I haven't used many distro's (Ubuntu, slight tinkering on a Fedora based distro...and Puppy Linux, Slax Frodo and ttylinux if tiny live distros count), but I really do like Arch's way of doing things.

  • [Solved] Pacman broke after -Sy error loading liblmza.so.0

    so I read in another post that all I hafta  do is manually install xz-utils...so I got to AUR and try to makepkg -s after i tar -zxvf the .tar.gz file they provide
    I might be missing something or may have not downloaded some extra file I need....anyways it said there was no target specified and no make file found....I'm sure it's fairly obvious that I'm new to linux so any help would be appreciated
    i put the .tar.gz into a folder I named xz-util then i cd there and i utarred it with tar -zxvf then i cd into the now utarred file and I type makepkg -s
    thanks in advance

    Profjim gave you the link above.  It is a plain tarball that contains all the necessary files and symlinks.
    dangsos wrote:after I updated it then it didn't work....not sure what the deal is, but it sounds the same as the other guys problem that you linked too
    oskarn did -Syu (and most likely -Syud as Allan said), which is not -Sy.  Since you aren't familiar with the basics of arch/pacman, it's hard to guess what you really did exactly.  If you're able to get this all fixed, you'll need to read through some wiki articles to get a basic grasp of things.

  • [solved] pacman broken after "pacman -Syyu" excluding pacman

    Hi forums,
    I use arch x86_64, yaourt and the testing and multilib repositories.
    A full system upgrade doing "yaourt -Syyu" didn't work, because pacman had an unfulfilled dependancy which I don't recall, but it was about a normal and a multilib version: I probably have the multilib version of a library installed, which has not been updated to the version required by pacman yet.
    So I thought it would be perfectly fine to exclude pacman from this system upgrade by choosing "manually" from the options given by "yaourt -Syyu" and commented pacman.
    The upgrade then went fine except for the two final lines:
    package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    testdb: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Now everytime I try to use pacman, I get this error:
    pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Do you know how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance

    Actually, I was more concerned about updates for packages from AUR. yaourt would handle AUR packages as if they were in a repository, and update them, solving dependency problems.
    Now what I fear is, that if some regular library gets an update, it may not updated on my system in the first place, because pacman only sees that the older version is needed for the AUR software, but is not capable of updating the AUR package (which works with the new library version) automatically. So updates will break some software unless I remove it first and install the latest version manually.

  • [Solved] Pacman message after interrupted installation... persists

    As you can see I'm still a bit of a newbie. Yesterday I was installing TeX live, but while installing someone unplugged a USB stick and all went stuck... it all just freeze the system, I guess it was a hardware problem. Anyway, I restarted and when I came back to resume the installation (downloading of packages was already finished), pacman sent me a lot of error messages, but apparently TeX live installed fine. Well, I checked my TeX system and works fine. The problem is every time I try to install something, I always get this error message:
    error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/texlive-bin-2010.1-4/depends: No such file or directory
    error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/texlive-bin-2010.1-4/depends: No such file or directory
    How do I repair this? I didn't want to clean the cache, but... would this do fine? what else do I have to do?
    Thanx in advance.

    Well, solved by myself.
    What I had to do after a lot of mess was
    1. uninstall everything that was causing errors
    sudo pacman -Rs texmaker texlive-most texlive-core texlive-bin
    2. and clear the cache of files not installed
    sudo pacman -Sc texmaker texlive-most texlive-core texlive-bin
    This solved the entire problem. Dialectical theory still functioning in my brains
