Problem with pacman.

I have some problem with pacman, and probably is cused by the order on which packages are searched and installed.

I have

Code: [Select]

#[gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[system]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[world]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[galaxy-gremlins]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[galaxy]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist


[universe]
  Server = https://universe.artixlinux.org/$arch
  Server = https://mirror1.artixlinux.org/universe/$arch
  Server = https://mirror.pascalpuffke.de/artix-universe/$arch
  Server = https://artixlinux.qontinuum.space/artixlinux/universe/os/$arch
  Server = https://mirror1.cl.netactuate.com/artix/universe/$arch
  Server = https://ftp.crifo.org/artix-universe/


[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch



That i suppose it will gave precedence to universe from community and extra (that should be Arch Linux repo)

But I have some errors like:

Code: [Select]
attenzione: firefox: la versione installata (104.0.2-1) è più recente di quella presente in world (104.0.1-1)

That is telling that installed version is more recent than the version in world

and this error with inkscape:

Code: [Select]
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libinkscape_base.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can I solve the problem of the order and eventually fix the installation?

Regards

I think maybe you either downloaded Firefox 104.0.2-1 from Arch repos or gremlins in a previous version of your config..? Seems like that build of Firefox will be moved to world soon so I recommend ignoring that message.

As for Inkscape, it looks like that build is sad. Until it gets fixed you can rollback the update via your local pacman cache.

I don't know if this matters, but the wiki puts the Arch repositories you use in this order:
Code: [Select]
 # Arch
 [extra]
 Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

 [community]
 Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

That is correct. And Arch repos should be after the Artix repos. Just as you have in your first post.

Thanks for replying.

This morning it will complain about it can't downgrade  firefox to  (104.0.1-1) becuase doing so it break the dependecy  of  firefox-i18n-it  from 'firefox>=104.0.2'

And it refuse to update.

I wonder if there is a way to see from what repo package are installed to check what packages are installed from "Arch repositories" and decide if they are still needed.


For inkscape I've found a solution:


Code: [Select]
ln /usr/lib/inkscape/libinkscape_base.so /usr/lib/libinkscape_base.so

Hello,

Have you tried uninstalling firefox-i18n-it first and then firefox?
If the repositories are correctly configured in /etc/pacmanconf you can reinstall the two packages

Not exactly, I could remove the packages, but when I try to reinstall, them:

installing firefox will bring version 104.0.1 and it is ok.

But when I try to install firefox-i18n-it it will bring firefox 104.0.2 instead, so I suspect that artixlinux packages are not supplying the firefox-i18n-xx packages.

Hello Carlo,

Today I got two Firefox updates:
Code: [Select]
jp-artix:[jp]:~$ pacman -Q firefox

firefox-i18n-fr 104.0.2-1

The contents of my /etc/pacman.conf file:

Thanks, seeing your pacman-conf I don't see too much with repositories compared to mine,  excepts for gremlins.


Or there is some misalignment  with local mirrors repositories , (probably due to recently cyber attacks probably some mirrors are not very updated ).


I wil wait a couple of days.

I wonder if there is a way to know from what repositories a package came from:

Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Q firefox
firefox 104.0.1-1


will gave me old version 104.0.1

Code: [Select]
 sudo pacman -Q firefox-i18n-it
errore: impossibile trovare il pacchetto 'firefox-i18n-it'


the error is telling that the package is not found.


What else I should check?

TIA and Regards.

Like you, I don't use gremlins repositories.

OK.
No need to put sudo before pacman -Q... or pacman -Ss, pacman -Si

After modifying the pacman configuration files, have you tried:
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syyu

Thanks, I will check, the repositories order, maybe some thing is dependanto to the update frequency of some repositories.

Hello Carlo,

The order of these server addresses does not matter.
Some repositories are updated before others, but pacman -Syu will check for the most recent updates.

my mirrorlist is very different probably the stock one:

Code: [Select]

##
## Artix Linux repository mirrorlist
## Generated on 2022-06-08
##

# Artix mirrors
# Use rankmirrors(1) to get a list of the fastest mirrors for your location,
# e.g.: rankmirrors -v -n 5 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# Then put the resulting list on top of this file.

# Default mirrors
# Server = https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirror.clarkson.edu/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch

## Europe
# Czech Republic
Server = https://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch
# Denmark
Server = https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirror.one.com/artix/$repo/os/$arch
# France
Server = https://artix.cccp.io/$repo/os/$arch
....

or maybe have to use the rankmirrors as suggested in the comment?

See the date on the file.

I have no other mirrorlist, except for a mirrorlist.old and a mirrorlist-arch.

It doesn't matter as long as they are operational.
If the sudo pacman -Sy command goes well, it's good.

I also have two mirrorlists:
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

The mirrorlist.pacnew is provided during updates.
We can copy this file in /home/user and uncomment the lines of the country that interests us to operate a rankmirrors -t
Code: [Select]
rankmirrors -t /home/user/mirrorlist.pacnew

Thanks you.

I will check  and decide if a rankmirrors will be right way or not.

Today firefox is updated to the 104.0.2 version, so I'm trying to reinstall the i18n-it part I've skipped.

It is not a big hassle, as I'm using some different distributions and settings, so using firefox in English is not a problem.

Thanks again and Regards
