Archlinux: allow taskopen with task-dev #118

Closed AdrienLemaire closed 3 years ago

AdrienLemaire commented 5 years ago

I want to use task version 2.6, which is made available by the arch linux aur package task-dev.

$ yay -Qs task
local/task-dev 2.6.0-1
    A command-line todo list manager

$ task --version
2.6.0

$ yay -S taskopen
:: Checking for conflicts...
:: Checking for inner conflicts...

==> Package conflicts found:
 -> Installing task will remove: task-dev (task)

==> Conflicting packages will have to be confirmed manually

[Repo: 2]  perl-json-2.97001-1  task-2.5.1-2
[Aur: 1]  taskopen-1.1.4-1

But taskopen wants to install task-2.5, which conflicts with task-dev. The PKGBUILD only asks for task>=2.4.0, so this issue is strange.

@Fandekasp this is an archlinux-specific issue, which is why I edited the title.

The reason why this happens is the version dependency. As you already mentioned, taskopen asks for task>=2.4.0. However, task-dev, only has provides=task without any version. As written in the ArchWiki, alternative packages should also mention the package version they provide.

As both, taskopen and task-dev, are AUR packages, you can simply modify one of the PKGBUILDs, i.e. either removing the version dependency from taskopen or adding the version to task-dev.
