by VMiklos 06 Jan '06

hi http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/verbose_unsat_dep… before: $ sudo pacman -S kdebase :: kdebase-3.5.0-4: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... done. looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) after: $ sudo pacman -S kdebase :: kdebase-3.5.0-4: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... done. looking for inter-conflicts... ERROR: cannot satisfy dependency for "kdebase" (requires "hal>=0.5.5-2") error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) (ok, till dont_hide_errors.diff isn't applied you'll need the --debug option to get this) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] http date handing
by Dale Blount 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi Guys, I know this probably doesn't belong here (since I can't offer a patch), but you might know of a better solution than I. It's probably not even important enough to fix (unless the change can be copied to pacman3 also). It seems date handling over http always thinks the package databases are out of date. If I run with -v, I get these every time when the database was last sync'd via http. failed to get lastupdate time for current (no big deal) failed to get lastupdate time for extra (no big deal) failed to get lastupdate time for unstable (no big deal) It's my guess that's where the problem lies. Screen capture representing the problem is attached (to avoid line wrapping). FYI, I'm using Arch's apache package and Arch's proftpd package on the server.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] libalpm: fix for conflicts&provides in sync_prepare()
by VMiklos 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

hi http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/conflict_provide.… the scenario is the following: package A conflicts&provides B old: $ sudo pacman -S libnfsidmap resolving dependencies... done. looking for inter-conflicts... done. Targets: libnfsidmap-0.12-1 nfsidmap-0.11-1 Total Package Size: 0.1 MB Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] new: $ sudo ./pacman.static -S libnfsidmap resolving dependencies... done. looking for inter-conflicts... :: libnfsidmap conflicts with nfsidmap. Remove nfsidmap? [Y/n] done. Remove: nfsidmap Targets: libnfsidmap-0.12-1 Total Package Size: 0.1 MB Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] reason: appending the package to the replaces list is unnecessary if we don't set the solved variable to 1, as that way the type will be set to PM_SYNC_TYPE_REPLACE later udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] renaming files
by VMiklos 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

hi i know, that's a problematic operation in cvs, but you recently renamed rpmvercmp to versioncmp, so here is what would have to be renamed: - configure.in: this name is obsolete, the proper name is configure.ac - ChangeLog: this file is usually the generated by cvs2log, the handwritten (& more human-frendly) abstract is usually called NEWS - if we are at it, what about addig an AUTHORS file? udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] libalpm: avoid double free() in trans_free()
by VMiklos 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

hi http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/trans_double_free… trans->packages is only a list of package _pointers_ so using FREELISTPKGS() on it will cause a double free(). use FREELISTPTR instead how to reproduce this bug: $ sudo pacman -Rs k9copy --noconfirm checking dependencies... done. Targets: k9copy toolame removing k9copy... done. removing toolame... done. *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0824eea0 *** udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] autoconf cleanup
by VMiklos 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

hi http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/wipe_out_pacman_v… as PACKAGE_VERSION is already defined, it's no good defining our own PACMAN_VERSION in pacman.c and #VERSION# in pacman.8.in and makepkg.8.in udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
