Yaourt not finding AUR dependencies?
Trying to install the Iron build of Chromium:
==> Making package: iron 4.0.227-2 x86_64 (Wed Dec 9 14:26:24 EST 2009)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
lib32-dbus-glib package not found, searching for group...
[b]error: 'lib32-dbus-glib': not found in sync db[/b]
==> ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies.
Error: Makepkg was unable to build iron package.
Note lib32-dbus-glib really is on AUR. Also,
$ yaourt -S lib32-dbus-glib --asdeps
works fine (but then I need to install lib32-gconf by hand also). On the other hand,
$ yaourt -S lib32-gconf #another dependency for Iron
==> lib32-gconf dependencies:
- lib32-orbit2 (building from AUR)
- lib32-gtk2 (package found)
- lib32-libxml2 (package found)
This seems pretty inconsistent. Why is yaourt pulling in dependencies from AUR to install lib32-gconf but not to install Iron?
Edit: notice the build order seems to be different, because one somehow (?) gets identified as a _runtime_ dependency.

I changed the PKGBUILD from
if [[ $CARCH = x86_64 ]]; then
depends=('lib32-alsa-lib' 'lib32-dbus-glib' 'lib32-gconf' 'lib32-nss' 'lib32-libxdamage' 'ttf-dejavu')
optdepends=('nspluginwrapper-flash: flash support')
else
depends=('alsa-lib' 'gconf' 'nss' 'ttf-dejavu')
fi
to
depends=('lib32-alsa-lib' 'lib32-dbus-glib' 'lib32-gconf' 'lib32-nss' 'lib32-libxdamage' 'ttf-dejavu')
optdepends=('nspluginwrapper-flash: flash support')
and suddenly it works. So, I noticed this (installing from original PKGBUILD):
==> iron dependencies:
- alsa-lib (already installed)
- gconf (already installed)
- nss (already installed)
- ttf-dejavu (already installed)
So, it seems like pacman/yaourt is initially getting dependencies for the wrong architecture and only later coming back and only later getting the correct dependencies from testing against $CARCH, but at this point it screws up for some reason, and the added dependencies like lib32-<stuff> are "not found in sync db" ...
Edit: this issue persists in yaourt-git.

Yaourt dont find aur packets.. [solved]
I am running arch in a vmware environment currently.. I installed latest yaourt from the archlinuxfr repo, but yaourt cant find any aur packages..
trying with yaourt awesome3, i get nothing. I know its there from the website. Finding any packets from the core,extra or testing does work without problem.. only aur packets dont work.
Anyone else with this experience?
-- edit
downloaded and built from aur myself , then it worked. Guess something wrong with the prebuilt one in archlinuxfr repo..
Last edited by jinn (2008-09-29 15:33:52)The only issue I have with yaourt from archlinux.fr is that "yaourt -S {groupname}" fails.
"pacman -S {groupname}" works fine, though.
If you fail to spot packages from AUR, then check your network connection. Mine is very unstable, and when it's down, or very slow, no AUR packages show in a yaourt query. -
When i try to execute:
yaourt -Syu --aur
I get msg (it's fragment of it):

Last edited by paramthegreat (2009-05-16 21:46:08)ok, so i seem to have solved the issue. i found a changelog for yaourt 0.9.2 that mentioned "fixing aur search". that prompted me to check the yaourt version on my machine and it was still at 0.9.0
upgrading to the latest version seems to have fixed the problem. -
[SOLVED] Yaourt: not found on AUR
When I try to run
yaourt -Syu --aur
I am told that
yaourt: not found on AUR
This is given for all packages I've installed from the AUR.
I am behind a http proxy, but have exported this variable in my shell. And I know that at least some of these packages are updated from when I last did an upgrade.
I can't find an answer on the wiki or searching these forums; am I just being stupid, or can someone help me? Thanks.

Configure not finding dependencies but they are installed!
Hi, I was just trying to install pychosynth from AUR via yaourt, but configure just keeps complaining about SoundTouch and Liblo not being installed, however they are.
I tried to fix it by downloading Debian's Lenny libSoundTouch .deb file and then extracting the libs and links to /usr/lib but there was no luck anyways.

And here's the AUR package I'm using:

Thanks for your continued helpOk, good and bad news.
It seems that it was missing some development libreries to compile, and because I couldn't find them elsewhere I decided to grab them from Debian's site, so I took lenny's libsoundtouch1-dev package and manually installed it, so now I get this while building:

Pbfetch - Please not another AUR frontend
pbfetch is an AUR frontend and optionally a Pacman wrapper.
Background and Motivation
I originally intended to keep pbfetch private, as there are already so many AUR frontends but, after using it for a bit I've decided to let others use, change, belittle, mock, praise and/or look at it.
pbfetch(PKGBUILD fetch) started as merely a script to download a PKGBUILD from the AUR. I usually like to edit and run makepkg myself for AUR packages, however, there are times where I like a simple
automated approach. With all due respect to the developers, I found yaourt to be slow(especially on my old laptop). After seeing how complicated yaourt has become I decided to extend pbfetch to encompass most if not all
my Arch package managment needs.
Features
[Current]
- Can optionally wrap pacman functionality so one can use pbfetch for most pacman commands(eg. pbfetch -Sy, pbfetch -Qs, pbfetch -Rd)
- Search AUR
- Download and extract AUR tar.gz to build directory
- Option to edit PKGBUILD after download
- Option to make the package with or without installing
- Dependecy checking(mostly complete, though removes versioning for dependencies not found in official repos)
- Check for and install AUR updates
- Option to choose which AUR updates to install
- Optional color output
- By default uses sudo where needed
[Todo]
- Refactoring for readabilty and speed(already much faster than yaourt)
- Further ABS support(currently only copies local abs pkg directory to build directory)
- Better commandline option parsing(possibly getopts)
- Add edit PKGBUILD option to pacman fallback commands(currently auto-edit only with AUR specific commands)
- Prettier text output
- Willing to consider any requests
Overview
I had two types of users in mind as I made/make pbfetch.
1.) Those who prefer to have 1 tool to manage AUR and official repositories
2.) Those who prefer to keep their AUR frontend separate from Pacman
As such there are two sets of command line options: those that are AUR specific, and optionally, commands that call the pacman binary and extend for AUR functions.
I have chosen to call pacman directly where ever possible rather than reimpliment pacman's functions.
The following is a copy of pbfetch's usage prompt:
Usage: pbfetch [opiton] [package1] [package2] ....

Example: pbfetch -S xorg
pbfetch -d nvidia-beta nvidia-utils-beta
pbfetch will also pass any pacman related options to the
pacman binary specifed in the script, eg. pbfetch -Qs
[Configuration]
The config file is stored in /etc/pbfetch.conf
There you can set whether to enable color output, pacman fallback, various working directories etc.
The pacman binary can be specified as well.(Tested with pacman and pacman-color)
Default build directory is ~/build/
[Notes]
- pbfetch can be called just like pacman and it will pass the command line options untouch if you prefer. Or it can extend pacman's sync to include AUR processing. This is set in the configuration.
- When checking for AUR updates (eg. pbfetch -u, or pbfetch -Syu --aur) you will be prompted to either accept the updates or you may opt to only choose certain updates. To choose, type the number as seen next
to the corresponding update. Separate each respective package number by a space.
[Known or potential caveats]
- All verbose options such as "--needed" are passed to pacman untouched. However some of the short hand versions have not been implemented when using sync (eg. pbfetch -Sg xorg) in combination with the fallback option set.
- I've written the script with sudo in mind. The script inserts sudo where needed.
- Color output assumes dark terminal background. Color can either be turned off or individual colors and be changed in the config file
- pbfetch was made in my limited free time over the last month so testing of features has been limited to say the least.
[Development]
- I have put pbfetch up on github @ http://github.com/dalingrin/pbfetch
- Please feel free contribute or make requests
Make no mistake, I have no dreams of pbfetch becoming the next popular AUR frontend like yaourt. I have had fun writing it so far (first bash script) and thought a few like minded individual(s) may enjoy using it as well.
Package can be found @ http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33256

Upstream update to 3.6.8.
Comment by: fzerorubigd on Wed, 11 Aug 2010 17:56:44 +0000
Its a good work, but can you add default dictionary to this too? I mean just add a dictionaries folder inside installation folder and copy to en-US.dic and en-US.aff from mozilla-1.9.2/extensions/spellcheck/locales/en-US/hunspell folder?
Thanks for your great work.

Xmonad-darcs issue with pacman, yaourt and manually aur/abs [SOLVED]

[SOLVED] yaourt doesnt search aur - new mirrror list
Hi
last night I discovered that yaourt doesnt search aur packages. I am guessing that it has something to do with last pacman upgrade and new mirror list.
Does anybody have the same problem with yaourt and could anybody explaine, step by step , what soud I do with new mirror list? I did not understand completely all steps that should be done with new mirror list. Thanks.
Last edited by liticovjesac (2009-01-03 17:23:33)Thanks.
It works after I update yaourt to new version.
Here is a trade you mentioned about same problem. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61664 -
[SOLVED] How to make "yaourt" run with "AUR" command?
I want to change the yaourt command so i can use something like aur or AUR.
for example, instead of
yaourt -S package-name-here
I want to use
AUR -S package-name-here
so that it's easier to type. "yaourt" is such an odd string to type! hehe
I think i might use something like this:
function AUR {
**something like: exec /.../yaourt**
**and some other code to pass on -S or -U conditions...etc**
Can someone tell me what to put in this function and where to save it to?
Also, What's better: using the yaourt call above or the following custom function (instead of yaourt):
function AUR {
cd $aurdir
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/$1/$1.tar.gz && tar -xzf $1.tar.gz && rm $1.tar.gz && cd $1 && makepkg -s
pacman -U **some code goes here to output the correct filename**
I have to think to myself "yeah our t" to type yaourt (haha) so to think "AUR" is much simpler, since that's what we're getting packages from anyways.
Last edited by trusktr (2010-02-21 22:14:20)When and if one uninstalls yaourt, still gonna leave the aliases in the .bashrc... that's untidy too... Wich is more simple, "ln -s /usr/bin/yaourt /usr/bin/AUR <enter>" or "nano ~/.bashrc <enter> alias AUR='yaourt' <ctrl+x> <y> <enter>" ... It's better to use aliases in .bashrc because you can do so much more and get to learn alil bit more for future reference, but the reasons for not symlinking it's really not that bad. If you've ever used windows for example, symlink works almost the same as creating a shortcut to an application on the desktop, once unistalled the application, you manually have to delete the shortcut. Aliases is the proper way to go, i didn't know this at all.. I just symlinked to yaort but after reading this i switched to alias Btw mark topic as solved ^^

Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'SharedResources' for locale 'en_US'
I'm trying to launch my flex app then i got this error:
Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'SharedResources' for locale 'en_US'.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Ps: I'm using flex4 under FlashBuilder 4.5
Thanks
DavidThere isn't new doc, because the workflow didn't change. It works pretty
much the same as Flex3. There is no s:Module or s:ModuleLoader so you
continue to use the mx versions as you did before.
The styles mechanism did change so that each module has its own styles and
now is sensitive to a common mistake in setting up modules projects. Folks
accidentally reference the module class directly from within the main
application instead of using a shared interface. Doing so actually links in
the module and its dependencies into the main app, defeating the main point
of modules, but in Flex 4, that configuration also throws errors.
Another change in Flex 4 is that the main app must load singletons shared by
modules. That is the result of optimizing startup a bit by not linking in
every manager you might possibly need. This means that if your app doesn't
use popups and your modules do, you must link the PopUpManager into the mai
app by doing:
Import mx.managers.PopUpManager; PopUpManager;
It is also possible that there is a bug. Simplify your scenario and file a
bug or post the test case if the simple case also fails. Maybe you've got
some other configuration we didn't anticipate. -
[SOLVED] Java could not find or load main class
I just tried to run a Java program using Swing components from the terminal, but I always get this error message:
$ java VisualTest
Error: Could not find or load main class VisualTest
The strange thing is that it runs flawlessly from within Eclipse.
I created VisualTest.java using the (old) Visual Editor, it's contents are:
package visual1;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
//import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class VisualTest extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private JPanel jContentPane = null;
* @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
VisualTest thisClass = new VisualTest();
thisClass.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
thisClass.setVisible(true);
* This is the default constructor
public VisualTest() {
super();
initialize();
* This method initializes this
* @return void
private void initialize() {
this.setSize(300, 200);
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.setContentPane(getJContentPane());
this.setTitle("JFrame");
* This method initializes jContentPane
* @return javax.swing.JPanel
private JPanel getJContentPane() {
if (jContentPane == null) {
jContentPane = new JPanel();
jContentPane.setLayout(null);
return jContentPane;
As you can see, there is a class named VisualTest and it contains a main function.
My CLASSPATH variable contains a dot, like
.:/home/mk/.java/deployment/ext/*
I just updated my Java from JDK 7u67 to JDK 8u20 (the Oracle one, in AUR), but I can't imagine this is related (however, I haven't run Java programs from the terminal for a long time).
Strangely enough, a simple HelloWorld.java
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
runs flawlessly from within the terminal.
Last edited by Marcel- (2014-09-26 12:44:35)As intended by my institution, I said to Eclipse that it should store sources and class files in the same directory. Let's do ls and test:

I also tested this with another project that runs fine in Eclipse, but it gives the same error message when trying to issue `java StemOpPartijFrame`.
EDIT:
One difference between the two OSs though is that Linux progresses. The other decays..
Two? I count many! And I don't think something like OpenBSD decays. ;-)

I used user guide to install and used recommended groups in guide. do I need to be added toanother group or something..??AFAIK aurbuild does not support *.tar.xz packages yet. There are alternative aur helpers you can use.
If it's your first time using the AUR, I would strongly recommend you learn to do it without any helper first, so that you understand the process.
