Guys, I know kdemod3 is considered dead, but I would like to install it on the new box I am setting up tonight. I have the full chakra repo of files and I thought it would be as simple as just creating an entry in pacman.conf to point to my server and the install would proceed. But I ran into an issue with [00:19 phoenix:~] # pacman -Sy kdemod3-complete :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date archlinuxfr is up to date kdemod-legacy is up to date xyne-any is up to date resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "libxxf86misc", a dependency of "kdemod3-kdebase" <snip 50 of the same> :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: kdemod3-applets kdemod3-baghira-sidebar kdemod3-kdeaddons-base <snip the rest of the kdemod3 packages> Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade? [y/N] Yes, I know kdemod3 is broken by the cups strlcpy problem, but I use many of the kde3 apps in whatever desktop I use. For this new box it will most likely be just fluxbox, but I need kwrite, kate, konqueror, kcolorchooser, ksnapshot, quanta+, etc.... I hate the sloppy kde4 versions or it would load those. Before the kdemod-legacy repo was pulled, install was simple, so I wonder if it is possible to trick the installer into resolving "libxxf86misc" somehow so that the install can proceed. Anybody have any thoughts on how this can be done? Worst case, I guess I could cannibalize a kdemod3 install from one of my other boxes, but I would like to find a way to do a proper install since I have 3 more boxes to install. So, what says the brain trust? Possible? Not Possible? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
