[aur-general] Upgrade will install package from testing without having testing enabled, it breaks a dependency of a package from AUR
by Ralf Mardorf 01 Jul '20

Hi, when upgrading with 'pacman -Syu' I get 'Packages (3) firefox-78.0-1 xorg-fonts-alias-misc-1.0.3-4 xorg-fonts-misc-1.0.3-9', but extra provides xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-8, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/xorg-fonts-misc/ , xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-9 is from testing, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/any/xorg-fonts-misc/ . Testing is _not_ testing repo enabled: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep testing /etc/pacman.conf # The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the #[testing] #[community-testing] #[multilib-testing] [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ The upgrade results in "error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) xorg-fonts-alias-misc: /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias exists in filesystem (owned by xorg-fonts-alias) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded." Manual intervention is needed, 'pacman -Rdd xorg-fonts-alias'. The problem is that this is the cause for 'error: missing 'xorg-fonts-alias' dependency for 'white_dune'' https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/white_dune/ and I wonder if a comment to fix the dependencies is appropriated, since actually the issue is caused by a package that should be in testing, but gets installed without testing enabled. Regards, Ralf
