[arch-general] System upgrade fails
Hello, i´ m getting this message when i try to upgrade my system (pacman -Syu): I have the system in spanish, so i write a translation of it: :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... checking for conflicts... error: fail to prepare transaction (couldn´ t satisfy dependencies) :: ipw3945: needs kernel26<2.6.27 I think ipw3945 is something about my network card, but whatever it is, it´s not listed in the repositories (pacman -Sl | grep ipw --> ipw2100-fw and ipw2200-fw). And my kernel is 2.6.26-ARCH, so i think is a kernel26, <2.6.27, right? Anyone with the same problem?? Can i uninstall the package without a problem?? Thanks.

In fact we all had this issue Manolo, be sure that you don't are using ipw3945 (and if you are using it, consider to move to iwl3945 which for me at least works better) module in the /etc/rc.conf MODULES array then remove the package... (pacman -R ipw3945) and then pacman -Syu again.

Hi,
:: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... checking for conflicts... error: fail to prepare transaction (couldn´ t satisfy dependencies) :: ipw3945: needs kernel26<2.6.27
I think ipw3945 is something about my network card, but whatever it is, it´s not listed in the repositories (pacman -Sl | grep ipw --> ipw2100-fw and ipw2200-fw). And my kernel is 2.6.26-ARCH, so i think is a kernel26, <2.6.27, right? Anyone with the same problem?? Can i uninstall the package without a problem?? Thanks.
See this: http://www.archlinux.org/news/414/ Specifically this part: "The ipw3945 driver doesn't compile anymore. It's probably easy to patch, but we'll stop maintaining it anyway. Please use iwl3945 or compile the driver yourself (the latest PKGBUILD and patches can be found at http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/ipw3945/trunk/)" Ondřej -- Cheers, Ondřej Kučera
Hey Manolo, First of all, if you're not using ipw3945, I would think that it's alright to remove it. Second of all, ipw3945 isn't technically to be used anymore as the iwl3945 project has replaced this work. The structure is completely different by removing the daemon needed to make ipw3945 run. You could try a 'pacman -R ipw3945'. If it is needed by something, it will tell you. Otherwise, remove it. Will On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 12:52 PM, Manolo <manolo.k@gmail.com> wrote:

The problem is that it's trying to upgrade to the 2.6.27 kernel, and can't because your package needs the old kernel. I *think* you can safely replace ipw3945 with the iwlwifi stuff, but don't quote me on that.

Uninstall ipw3945 and use instead iwl3945 (included in kernel). REf: http://www.archlinux.org/news/414/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Yes your kernel 2.6.26 is <2.6.27. However the 2.6.27 kernel you are trying to upgrade to isn't. As announced in the frontpage news http://www.archlinux.org/news/414/ :
- The ipw3945 driver doesn't compile anymore. It's probably easy to patch, but we'll stop maintaining it anyway. Please use iwl3945 or compile the driver yourself (the latest PKGBUILD and patches can be found at http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/ipw3945/trunk/)
Switching to iwl3945 is probably the easier solution. Make sure you download the firmware: pacman -S iwl-3945-ucode

Maybe you must read news before a system upgrade http://archlinux.org/news/414/ Regards -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Trusted User Linux User: #430842
Thanks to everyone, you´ re all right. I removed the package (I didn´t use it anyway) and now I´m upgrading the system. I´ ll read the news the next time, thanks for the suggestion. Angel: I already knew the site but no the irc channel, thank you for the tip. Thanks again, bye!!!
