Hi, recently I like install slack-desktop 2.3.4 because with the latest version 2.6.x I have a problem with unmark read messages bug...

I have install debtap from github, the binary because the debtap archlinux repository not works well.

When install the slack-desktop 2.3.4 deb I get this error...

user ~/ $ LANG=C sudo pacman -U slack-desktop-2.3.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz loading packages... resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "apt", a dependency of "slack-desktop" warning: cannot resolve "gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0", a dependency of "slack-desktop" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: slack-desktop

How resolved it?

It's better to not rely on unofficial (shit) like debtap and work on fixing the package in the repos.

The package is not even in our repos, but in the AUR and since the AUR is unsupported ask the maintainer of even better ask upstream.

Hi! You can use this PKGBUILD [1] (this commit [2]) to make 2.3.4 version. Anyway I don't recommend use old versions of packages because it may have bugs or security issues. In the other hand, if you read the comments on AUR package you can see one by IlyaGulya that says: If anyone experiences the problem with marking messages as read, you should clear Slack cache simply removing the ~/.config/Slack/Cache directory I recommend the "clear cache procedure" as first step to fix slack problems.

Thanks in advanced.

pacman is telling you that slack-desktop cannot be upgraded because it needs those other 2 packages(apt and gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0) the second evidently being an ubuntu specific package name. you could try and get those dependencies installed then try to upgrade slack-desktop. It may be more trouble than it's worth.

I decompress slack-desktop-tar.xz and exec manually bin slack and works well!! With the version 2.3.4.
