[arch-general] Conflict after 3 week upgrade pause
Hello all I had no internet for 3 weeks after moving and I Just updated for the first time again. Pacman now tells me that xf86-input-libinput and xorg-server are in confict and wants to remove xorg-server. I use xorg-server not wayland, so I dont think that is a good idea. I tried removing xf86-input-libinput with pacman -Rdd xf86-input-libinput but that results in: target not found. How can there be a conflict if xf86-input-libinput isnt there? Regards Patrick
Try updating the packages one at a time On Jan 16, 2016, 10:27, at 10:27, Patrick Hofmann <mail@pahofmann.com> wrote:

Thanks, I tried that and it seems like xf86-input-libinput was not installed. Explains why I cant remove it, but I'm still confused why there would be a conflict. On 01/16/2016 10:54 AM, Qdaxfa wrote:

Maybe it's a new dependency of a package that would be updated? -- Maarten

Since Xorg 1.18.0 you can now choose between xf86-input-evdev and xf86-input-libinput. Pacman would then try to install one of these when updating Xorg, but since you still technically had Xorg version < 1.18.0, and the packages conflict with xorg-server<1.18.0 pacman would automatically try to remove xorg-server to allow xf86-input-libinput to be installed. The solution would then be to just update xorg-server manually and then -Syu again... I think. -- Tomasz Kramkowski - 6FCE 8750 3AAF 42AB 3BF4 94FE 40B0 37BA 0A5B 8680
