Kernel version

6.10.0-1-cachyos-bore

Involved software

python-tiffile 2024.7.2-1 and python-scikit-image these are the two packages which simultaneously require each other while installing the OSINT group packages this dependency error comes up....problem is that python-tiffffile isnt available in the arch repos but its available on the aur but scikit is availabe on the repos but they wont work bcoz they need each other while installing .....

Repro steps

1 > Try to install from aur wont work due to dependency issues 2 > Cannot find a way to build them independently 3 > I know about pip packages but they wont obviously mix up with pacman

Expected behavior

Was expecting the osint package group to work ... it didn't so raised a issue about it :D

Actual behavior

I just tested athena-osint and it works well... Which repository are you using?

[Kalidude69]

Which repository ? there is an athena repo and a blackarch repo i added ...all other tools work fine other than osint... IM ON ARCH BTW(cachyos)

I just tested athena-osint and it works well... Which repository are you using?

[Kalidude69]

athena only has one repo probably ??

[Kalidude69]

i fixed it .... just ran #pacman -Sdd (specific tools)now it works sorry for raising this dumb issue

[D3vil0p3r]

You are welcome. Btw Athena does not use BlackArch repo. It uses its own repo for pentesting.

yes sir I am aware about it ... i just added another one for bychance if I dont get any package or the repo speeds are slow for that reason i have kept it .....
