[arch-general] AUR: Failing to install gnupod-git (no perl-date-parse)
Hey hey, I just tried to install gnupod-git from AUR and there is one unmet dependency not found by either pacman or through AUR: perl-date-parse . Short of building an AUR myself, is there something I could do?

Hi, you could try this software instead, if you are using a shuffle: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ipod-shuffle-4g/ About the dependency: It seems it is not available anymore in the repos/aur. But the software is also a bit older, you might want to consider using another software like I mentioned? Nico

It was deleted as it was a duplicate of perl-datetime. Just swap the dependencies. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
Thank you both for your answers I will give both solutions a try.

In February, even: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2018-February/022670.html Jeanette, you can submit an orphan request for this package as the original maintainer is not fixing it, and then adopt the package to fix the dependencies. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

Hm, I'll have to go through the mailinglist then, since I can't search AUR packages through the web interface. I get no search button in the text-based browsers. :(

That seems to be no problem for me with w3m. Just enter the package name in "Package Search" and press enter. Or open the "Packages" link, enter your keywords in the search form and submit it with [Search]. The same works with the links browser as well. -- Andreas

But pressing enter in the text box should be enough to trigger a form field search anyway...
I'm not sure why it matters, since you know the package name and therefore do not need to search for it. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
