[arch-general] kde-unstable with kdemod3: Total Removal and Reinstal - [SOLVED]
by David C. Rankin 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

List, As a test on the x86_64 box where all the conflict occurred, I thought I would make one more stab at a clean kde-unstable install. To start, I decided to wipe the slate clean. The following is a summary of what was required to completely wipe everything out. [23:30 archangel:/home/david] # pacman -Rs kdemod3-complete basket compizconfig-backend-kconfig kdemod3-gwenview kdemod3-libkdcraw kdemod3- libkexiv2 kdemod3-libkipi opera qcad [23:36 archangel:/home/david] # pacman -Rs kde kde-extragear kde-meta- kdeaccessibility kde-meta-kdeadmin kde-meta-kdeartwork kde-meta-kdebase kde- meta-kdeedu kde-meta-kdegames kde-meta-kdegraphics kde-meta-kdemultimedia kde- meta-kdenetwork kde-meta-kdepim kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons kde-meta-kdesdk kde- meta-kdetoys kde-meta-kdeutils kde-meta-kdewebdev k3b [23:39 archangel:/home/david] # ( IFS=$'\n'; for i in $(pacman -Q | grep kde); do pacman -Rs ${i%%\ *}; done ) [23:41 archangel:/home/david] # pacman -Rs k9copy kdelibs-experimental kdebase-runtime [23:42 archangel:/home/david] # ( IFS=$'\n'; for i in $(pacman -Q | grep kde); do pacman -Rs ${i%%\ *}; done ) [23:42 archangel:/home/david] # pacman -Q | grep kde (nothing) reboot (just for good measure - all kde is gone, including kdm3, we're in runlevel 3) [23:54 archangel:/home/david] # pacman -Sy kde ==> HERE IS THE KEY (DISCUSSED IN THE EARLIER THREAD) ANSWER: [Yes] to the first install whole content ANSWER: [No ] to everything else (there has to be a bug here...) :: Install whole content?

[Y/n] n If you fail to do this you will end up with thousands of conflicts because each of the packages is already included (albeit in piecemeal fashion) in the first block of packages you are answering "Yes" to after issuing the pacman -S kde command. First glaring question is why? Why are conflicts introduced simply by issuing pacman -S kde on a clean system? Also, why can't I install k3b now?

[arch-general] bash remote host completion gone
by prad 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

i had remote host completion: ssh hostna[tab] with my original debian .bashrc file. now with a new arch install it is gone and setting this export HOSTFILE=$HOME/.hosts doesn't bring it back even when i put the hostnames from /etc/hosts into that file. bash-completion is there and working just fine - except for the remote host completion. how can i get the remote hostnames to complete using [tab] again? -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's

IMO this packaging scheme sucks for both vi and vim. I was looking at the CRUX vim script and if a package like that can be achieved IMO its the best solution. Current situation (in testing) vim depends only on perl (optdepend) so this package might as well be in [core] instead of [extra] . That means it would need signoffs for it & gvim as well. I would be in favour of building a vim package in [core] that includes both a vi & vim binary, like CRUX seems to do it. http://crux.nu/ports/crux-2.5/core/vim/Pkgfile I just couldnt get my script to build so hadnt suggested it so far. I wonder if thats possible. The reasons the previous scheme changed was mainly because people complained that vi isnt really vi but vim, so this scenario would cover it Sorry for interefering. -- Greg

The 10th Libre Sofrware Meeting will take place in Nantes (France) from July 7th to July 11th. It is the biggest Open Source event in the country (see http://2009.rmll.info/?lang=en) Are there Archers planning to attend? Speaking French is probably required to take part in some of the conferences but not mandatory for all of them. -- catwell

The package is left in rw/pkgdest after I change it the package is moved to the dir the PKGBUILD is in.

[arch-general] Demons shutdown before processes.
by Chris Bannister 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

If my soundcard is in use when I shutdown (which it normally is with MPD because I just sudo halt and expect linux to shutdown), this causes OSS to fail to unload, which in turn can leave my /var partition mounted. Is there a specific reason it is done this way?

[arch-general] [signoff] rpcbind-0.2.0-1 and libtirpc-0.2.0-1
by Tobias Powalowski 15 Jun '09

Hi guys, in order to provide a state of the art portmapper with ipv6 support and all nfs4 stuff, we should replace portmap with rpcbind in [core]. Simply replace portmap daemon with rpcbind in /etc/rc.conf please signoff both packages greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
