I don't see anything on the main wiki. I just don't want to duplicate efforts. Cheers!

[arch-general] upgrade problems
by Shridhar Daithankar 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi, I got this pacman error just now, when I wanted to upgrade to 2.6.33. # pacman -Su :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: kqemu: requires kernel26<2.6.33 :: madwifi: requires kernel26<2.6.33 I removed both these packages and the upgrade is proceeding. Just a heads up for others who actually need these packages. I don't know why I had madwifi as there is no wireless card in this desktop machine. -- Regards Shridhar

Just noticed today that all the comments are gone from the AUR pages. Is that intentional? Or if not, is there any way to get them restored? Thanks, DR

Mirrors should be back in sync some day. Have the packages in [xorg18] been moved into [extra] as well? I cannot verify this from looking at the website, though it might not have synchronized yet.

I'm still using 20090814-3, but I can confirm that doing # update-ca-certificates --fresh manually fixes the elinks problem with verifying certificates. Thanks. -- Jim Pryor profjim(a)jimpryor.net

It only needs Option "IgnoreABI" "True" with xorg 1.8 which is a separate experimental repository AND that was already documented in its announcement : http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2010-April/016387.ht…

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] WARNING: [testing] broken due to openssl and heimdal rebuilds

Maybe start using sodeps to generate those dependencies? libfetch (doesn't have a soname with version btw) would depend on the new openssl libs and pacman should take care of the order. Have you already checked the patch Allan? -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net

After I synched, I rebuilt elinks-git against all the new libs I had installed. Then I noticed I was getting ssl errors whenever I went to an https: site. Turns out I needed to turn off the option connection.ssl.cert_verify: ## connection.ssl.cert_verify [0|1] # Verify the peer's SSL certificate. Note that this needs extensive # configuration of OpenSSL by the user. set connection.ssl.cert_verify = 0 Despite the "extensive configuration" warning, this was working before, but after rebuilding against openssl 1.0.0, it's not. The openssl upgrade brought some changes to /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf. I haven't tracked down yet whether any of those may be responsible for this. -- Jim Pryor profjim(a)jimpryor.net

[arch-general] jack & qjackctl
by fons＠kokkinizita.net 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

It seems like Arch is currently offering Jack and qjackctl packages that are not compatible. The Jack authors changed one some command line options in 0.118. '-R' for realtime is no longer available as realtime is now the default, and the new '-r' means 'no realtime'. Qjackctl 0.3.6 is aware of this, but won't work well with Jack 0.116 which is still the one available from Arch. In other words, the update of qjackctl was probably a bit premature.

ruby-htmlentities seems to have gone missing from community. Has it been dropped?
