[arch-general] circular self-dependency removing evolution-data-server
What am I doing wrong? # pacman -R evolution-data-server checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: evolution: removing evolution-data-server breaks dependency 'evolution-data-server' :: folks: removing evolution-data-server breaks dependency 'evolution-data-server' # pacman -Q pacman evolution-data-server pacman 5.1.2-2 evolution-data-server 3.30.4-1
Ignore the evolution line, bad paste - i tried to remove them both which failed as above, then I removed evolution which worked. I subsequently tried to remove evolution-data-server alone and got: # pacman -R evolution-data-server checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: folks: removing evolution-data-server breaks dependency 'evolution-data-server'

-R folks evolution-data-server or use -Rc evolution-data-server [warning], may remove more than intended, read the output before you press Y/enter

Well duh on me for being silly. I read that as a "folksy" message instead of as a package - happy new year lol. Thank you for fixing my error. Sorry for noise. gene

That is not a circular dependency. Pacman is telling you that evolution and folks depend on evolution-data-server, so if it were to remove the latter, it would break the dependency for evolution and folks. Best, Tinu
