Pamac breaks -Syu update for Antergos, cyclic dependency prevents pamac uninstall without -Rdd #439

Closed lyterk closed 6 years ago

The update error I was getting was:

resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: pamac: installing pacman (5.1.0-1) breaks dependency 'pacman<5.1'

I run antergos, which installs pamac by default. Arch Linux just released pacman-5.1.0-1.

So, first off I was able to -Syu by IgnorePkg = pacman. That wasn't a good enough solution for me, so I tried removing pamac.

I think there was some sort of cyclical dependency there-- pacman -Rsn pamac failed with:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: pamac-tray-appindicator: removing pamac breaks dependency 'pamac'

At that point, I ran pacman -Rdd pamac, and that removed it and solved my problems.

I think you might get Antergos users coming across this more, I assume i won't be alone. I realize it is strictly solvable with pacman commands, but it's a solution that isn't readily google-able.

This is no issue. The compiled pamac only works with pacman 5.0.1 and not with the just released pacman 5.1.0. Please contact the Antergos maintainer to re-compile their package of pamac. Also we have to deal with it ...
