[SOLVED] Skipping a package update

This is a known issue in the AUR, but I seem to be unable to ignore this upgrade when checking for updates (to update the rest of the system around it).
Can anyone help to point me in the right direction? I have not found anything on the wiki or google.
Thanks!

:: flexget: requires python2-sqlalchemy<0.9.99
Last edited by highway (2015-04-30 01:16:39)

Simplified explanation:
flexget is in the AUR
python2-sqlalchemy is in the repos
python2-sqlalchemy on your system is less than version 0.9.99
flexget on your system requires python2-sqlalchemy less than version 0.9.99 (i.e. the one on your system)
pacman wants to update all of the repo packages on your system
repo python2-sqlalchemy is at version equal to or greater than 0.9.99
pacman can't upgrade to the repo version of python2-sqlalchemy because it would break the version of flexget on your system
Solutions:
remove flexget and upgrade your system then re-install flexget when it works with the current version of python-sqlalchemy
wait for a version of flexget that supports the current version of python-sqlalchemy and then upgrade your system

[SOLVED] Question about package updates and ABS

Hello,
I have manually compile my kernel in order to apply a patch my laptop needs to suspend. So I use abs and customize the pkgbuild. A few days ago when the update for kernel26-2.6.33.3-2 came out, I thought I'd just refresh abs, rebuild, and then I'd be up to date. But instead now pacman -Syu tells me that there is still an update for the kernel.
Does building from ABS not get you the latest package update?
Also, what exactly is the package update compared to a software update? I'm guessing that it is an arch only update to the package but the software itself is the same version. Or am I totally off?
Thanks for the help!
Last edited by Fingel (2010-05-12 03:42:38)

When building via ABS, the package installed gets its version from the PKGBUILD ($pkgver-$pkgrel). Pacman just looks at available version vs installed version to tell if you should upgrade.
Your abs tree was probably just not up to date; just because pacman -Syu says your mirror has a package, doesn't mean building via abs _at that moment_ will get that version.
Be sure to run `abs` to update your tree, then when you're editing the PKGBUILD, check which version it's building. In some cases, you can simply increment those numbers right in the PKGBUILD before building as source files are often fetched based on those variables, etc. -- but I don't know if I'd recommend that when building something like the kernel.

[SOLVED] Resolve java package update conflicts

Currently I have jdk, jre and java-common installed. A new package java-runtime-common is going to shift out java-common. However, removing java-common will break jdk and jre so pacman won't let me go. In this case what would be the best way to update the relevant java packages? Note that jdk and jre are installed from AUR, which pacman doesn't know about. Thanks.

[solved] yaourt VCS package updates

Hello,
the command $ yaourt -Syua --devel upgrades all VCS packages. However, I do not completely understand how that works.
Does yaourt upgrade all VCS packages that are installed regardless of their version or does yaourt reconcile the VCS packages with my local packages and upgrades only these that are newer?

Then this feature is not working on my system.
As an example I just upgraded two packages nemo-dropbox-git and nemo-fileroller-git. So they are definitely the latest version.
Now when I run $ yaourt -Syua --devel it still wants to upgrade them again:

How to get changes of a custom PL/SQL package updated in ISG?

Hi All,
I need some help on how to change a custom PL/SQL package in ISG integration repository:
I already uploaded my custom PL/SQL package to the integration repositoy some time ago. Now I have made some changes to PL/SQL record/table types defined in the package (added some fields and removed some others). These changed record/table types are used by a procedure I already uploaded to the integration repository. When regenerating the WSDL for my PL/SQL package in integration repository I get an error that the wrapper for respective procedure can't be found. When checking up the SQL types that were automatically generated (by JPublisher) for corresponding PL/SQL types, these generated SQL types are invalid...
So it seems that in one case JPublisher generated an empty SQL type (with no attributes). In another case JPublisher generated the SQL type with old attribute list, so it didn't adopt the changes of corresponding PL/SQL type in the package...
Can anybody tell me how to get the changes of a cusotm PL/SQL package updated in ISG? Or is there any possibility to first remove a whole PL/SQL package from the ISG integration repository (and getting rid of all old automatically generated SQL types), so that I can newly upload my PL/SQL package afterwards?
Thanks
Konrad

Thanks Daniel, for your reply...
(-> for info: I'm a colleague of Konrad...)
Yes, we used a higher version number - and the upload of iLDT file works fine...
But, the problem occured when generating the WSDL...
However, I think we have found an approach of how to get the changes of a custom PL/SQL package updated correctly in ISG:
1. Save a copy of PL/SQL package and then delete it in the database
2. Regenerate the WSDL for PL/SQL package in ISG (seems that all atutomatically generated JPub wrappers and SQL types are also deleted)
3. Restart all processes
4. Create the changed version of PL/SQL package in the database again
5. upload of iLDT
6. Regenerate the WSDL for PL/SQL package in ISG

Adobe and Windows 7 Professional Service Package Updates

After Microsoft sent down the latest Service Pack update, both Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom...both of which had been running previously...now fail to initialize. The message given was: Microsoft has been alerted with this problem and will send back a solution. I called the Adobe Help desk. We proceeded to de-install everything that could be causing a conflict on the Hewett Packard HP170 running Windows 7 Professional: all adobe plug-in software, a 2nd monitor, a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. Then we uninstalled and reinstalled both Lightroom 4.1 and Photoshop CS6 The problem continued. Repair referred the situation to "tier 2 support". That was 3 days ago.
In the meantime, I tried an experiment: Using the MSCONFIG command, I started the computer in DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP mode rather than NORMAL. Then I tried to start the previously-new download CS6 Photoshop and Lightroom 4.1. BOTH STARTED SUCCESFULLY. However, both appear now to be trial software. When I go back to Normal Startup in windows program MSCONFIG, the need to register for a trial comes up for Photoshop and Lightroom 4.1 doesn't let you save any changes.
This is not the first Service Pack upgrade/Adobe conflict I have experienced For the past year, every time Microsoft sent down a service package update, an Adobe program...usually photoshop but sometimes Premier...would stop working. In two severe cases, I took the computer to a dealer who restored the machine to pre-service-pack update points. . But with the cloud software and CS6, that really should end!
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? If not, do you have a way to get adobe to get back to me on trouble ticket 183659886?

Are you saying you installed Service Pack 1 after installing Photoshop CS6 and that stopped Photoshop working?
Because if you're just talking about Windows Update, I keep my systems up to date and no Windows updates have stopped Adobe software from working here.
I know the problem seems simple from your perspective, but apparently it's not.
That your software starts when you bring up the system in Safe Mode probably says that something else you have installed and running on that system is interfering.
Perhaps if you'll explain exactly what it is that's going wrong (when it doesn't work) with specifics, some folks here might be able to help you. It might be as simple as Windows Update delivering a bum display driver, which you could override yourself by going to the web site of the maker of your video card.
Do you know how to read the Windows event logs?

Try updating your mdf device package as well. Device package for Common Services.
For current Nexus device package issue, each device package is not individual, but has some dependant packages. Without which they are tend to fail during installation check.
You can select all the available device packages and try to install. It seems you dont have SharedDcmaIOS (3.1.7) installed and hence the package is failng due to pre-requisite.
You have to install each package which fails which consistancy check on other packages.
For mdf package update, you can select common service as well and check for update.
There may be some 3850 device packages already available, please share output of following command for us to see :

User,
Posting your entire source code of the page, bean, vo etc does not give us any information. Please refrain from posting the full source in each of your question. Post the code snippet only when someone ask you to provide so or providing it supports others understanding your question / usecase. Not in every question / thread / reply you post.
Also, rephrase your question, so that we could understand the usecase better. If you don't modify a field in a record, you would not be getting any validation error for that field when submitting. Validation errors would be thrown only when you modify the field for which you've defined the validation rule.

SMP 2.2 Deployment of package (update) problem in SCC

Hi everybody,
Hope you can help. I'm currently working on some updates of a mobile application. The changes on the frontend and backend work ok. The problem lies in the update of the Sybase part. We already have a complete environment up and running and that works ok. I recently changed one of the structures of the bapi's which lay behind a MBO. I've refreshed the MBO and I see the new attributes in the workspace.
The second step is to build the package. This works as well.
The third step is to make sure the structure changes are also present in the backend system (QAS). This works ok.
The fourth step is to deploy it in our QAS domain of the SUP server using SCC. I follow the normal steps to update the Package and than the trouble starts. It says it failed to update the current package and provides me with the following errors (I've reduced it to the essential ones):
2014-03-05 09:11:31.023 Subsystem=Error,Application ID=,Application Connection ID=,User=,Correlation ID=,Package=,Root Context ID=,Transaction ID=,MBO=,Operation=,Thread ID=679,Node ID=SUP01,Error=DataServices: deploys intersect, not allowed with mode UPDATE.
And the following related to the newly added attributes:
2014-03-05 09:11:31.014 Subsystem=Error,Application ID=,Application Connection ID=,User=,Correlation ID=,Package=,Root Context ID=,Transaction ID=,MBO=,Operation=,Thread ID=679,Node ID=SUP01,Error=Column "XYZ" :new attribute
And

And

The problem is that the programmer who did al this is not available. I have a guide which I was following to the letter but somehow this doesn't work anymore. Documentation of sybase does not provide information about these errors (as far as I could find).
Hope you can help!
Cheers!
Laurens

I found the following in the documentation. Do I interpret it correctly by saying that adding attributes would result in errors?

[SOLVED] yaourt how to update aur packages

Hi!
I got a quick question. I thought that yaourt is able to update old packages installed from Aur automatically.
So for example I type as usually yaourt -Syu --aur but I noticed it doesn't show AUR packages I can update. Only from core/extra/community
For example I just typed:
yaourt yaourt
1 aur/yaourt 0.9.2.6-1 [0.9.2.5-1 installed] (2406)
and see that I can update yaourt. I have other packages installed from AUR, how do I know that a newer version is available without checking it manually?
edit:
so I am happy to mark it as solved. It wasn't a bug, but it is a way how yaourt works.
yaourt -Syu --aur shows packages from core/extra/community.
If I press Y (to install them). It shows a list again with the information how much to download and install and then after pressing "No" to install them, yaourt continues to check AUR packages in this case.
Julien MISCHKOWITZ, the developer said he could change the behavior
Thanks everyone for the attention!

Will the package be automatically updated when the git repo has new commits, or do I have to manually increment the pkgrel variable in the PKGBUILD or is there something else I should be doing?
Cheers!

As a maintainer, you shouldn't "update" anything. As long as the PKGBUILD file successfully builds the package then it's good!

No, it will not. There is nothing automatic about the AUR.

Updating a package that relies on git is the responsibility of the end user.
As an end user, it's my responsibility to read the project's commit messages and mailing lists and bug reports, decide that the software is stable, and when I have enough time, run "makepkg" (or an AUR helper) to create a fresh new package based on the latest source code from the git repository.
