FTR, it breaks vim too here. vim: error while loading shared libraries: libruby.so.1.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[arch-general] Light-weight SMTP "server"
by Magnus Therning 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Any good suggestions for a light-weight SMTP server? All email goes off-box to my ISP for remote delivery, I don't require any local delivery. Things like exim/sendmail/postfix feels like overkill. It would even be enough if all that's available is something like an /usr/lib/sendmail executable. Is there something suitable and light-weight? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[arch-general] File conflicts upgrading licenses
by Zé Ninguém 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hi there. I am having some file conflicts when upgrading the licenses package, and I don't understand why? Here is the error: resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Targets (1): licenses-2.5-1 Total Download Size: 0.00 MB Total Installed Size: 0.46 MB Proceed with installation? [Y/n] checking package integrity... (1/1) checking for file conflicts [####################################################################################################] 100% error: could not prepare transaction error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/FDL exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt exists in filesystem licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/LGPL exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. But the files it is complaining about belong to "licenses" already. /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt is owned by licenses 2.4-1 So my question is, why are this errors hapening? Regards.

I dont know if this would make things more complex (from a packager point of view for the most part ) but it will certainly make the list smaller. Please, if any developers feel like moving towards this, take part in the discussion, or even start moving towards this. I dont know if have discussed any of these in the private list, etc. -- Greg

[arch-general] PKGBUILD: depends and ranges of versions?
by Magnus Therning 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

I couldn't find anything definitive on this. Say I have a package A that depends on package B, but A can only be built against version 2.x of B (i.e. not against 1.x and not 3.x). Is it allowed to do something like depends=('B>=2' 'B<3') /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[arch-general] gstreamer naming
by Lukáš Jirkovský 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Hello, I've a question - why are gstreamer packages named gstreamer0.10 and not gstreamer? I can see it also in Debian, but I don't see any sense in appending version to the package name. Lukas "stativ"
