[arch-general] Why is scribus installing gimp-light-2.6.11?
Guys, The latest scribus update attempts to install gimp-light 2.6.11 (not 2.6.12?) as a dependency for the update. This fails on my box because I created a gimp26 package which is gimp 2.6.12. Is the 'gimp-light' being pulled in my scribus a full gimp 2.6 install? If it is, I'm happy to dump my package and just use it. Anybody know more about this new 'gimp-light' package that scribus wants? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

There is no gimp-light package in the repositories, and scribus does not depend on gimp.

I can't believe this. You are an Arch user and it never occurred to you that you should go check with a pacman -Ss gimp-light, and then when there is no result, check the AUR? How about a pacman -Si scribus? -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

Believe it. Here, the issue isn't "can't you check", the issue is "why did scribus attempt to satisfy a dependency with gimp-light?" That is why I posted the question. I had never seen pacman attempt to satisfy and dependency with a non-existent or aur package before. But it did. The lack of a gimp-light caused pacman to fail to upgrade anything. Thus, the post. The questions wasn't "why isn't gimp-light in the repos?" or "Is AUR the only place for gimp-light?", the question was "why/how is scribus looking for it in the first place?" -- David C.

It doesn't. Either you have a broken system or a voodoo magician nearby (and we don't believe in magic). What was the exact error of pacman? -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

Indeed it doesn't, David. It seems 'gimp-light' provides 'gimp', so probably it is needed for some other package of yours. Maybe you can reproduce the error e paste in here ? Rafael
