Re: [arch-general] Advice need on upgrading

I just tried it on my machine, all you should need to do it pacman -Sy system-config-printer-common to resolve the dependency. On Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 1:06 AM, Christopher Daley wrote:

In short, it's a packaging problem. You could try forcing the package upgrades (while not the best solution I imagine at most you wont be able to print), or just skip those packages until someone gets around to fixing the packaging issue.

The long version: system-config-printer version 1.1.7-3 was just replaced by system-config-printer-common 1.1.12-5. I'm not sure what the differences are (if any), but either the two packages in question (kdeadmin-system-config-printer-kde kdeutils-printer-applet) need to be updated, or the system-config-printer-common package needs to have the PROVIDES line updated.

I'm going to file a bug against system-config-printer-common for the provides, since the kde packages are orphans.

Hi List,

Just did a Syu and got presented with this below, so I baulked at the upgrade as some of the names seem different and I don't know what's happening.

Is it ok to upgrade, and waht about the unresolvable messages.
