Inkscape install issue

Hey everyone

Having a tough time installing Inkscape tonight.
I tried removing lib2geom, installing it, clearing out the entries in /usr/lib/cmake etc. but always getting the same error.
Any help would be appreciated - see below.

Code: [Select]
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
inkscape: /usr/lib/cmake/2Geom/2GeomConfig.cmake exists in filesystem (owned by lib2geom)
inkscape: /usr/lib/cmake/2Geom/2GeomConfigVersion.cmake exists in filesystem (owned by lib2geom)
inkscape: /usr/lib/cmake/2Geom/2GeomTargets.cmake exists in filesystem (owned by lib2geom)
inkscape: /usr/lib/lib2geom.so exists in filesystem (owned by lib2geom)
inkscape: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/2geom.pc exists in filesystem (owned by lib2geom)

world/lib2geom and world/inkscape should conflict or be updated.

An odd one because if you build the inkscape package locally (I just did) those conflicting files are not in the inkscape package.

So you could build it locally and I imagine get the same result as me or you could install lib2geom first and then use pacman's --overwrite option to overwrite each conflicting file when you install inkcape.

Or if in no hurry you could wait until the package is hopefully fixed.

I can confirm I also have run into this issue. I have simply added inkscape to my IgnorePkg list in my /etc/pacman.conf for now. Thanks for the insights offered up by @gripped . Hopefully it gets resolved soon! ☮️

Yeah that's weird. All I did was rebuild it again and the conflicting files magically disappeared. Not sure how this happened in the first place.

Here's the update.
I did build it locally besides taking a while, it did work out just fine.

It's a work around but certainly acceptable for me at this point.

Thanks for the insight everyone, muchly appreciated.
Marking this solved with the caveot of being a bit outside the norm for normies.

I started working on this last night here is what I saw:

Code: [Select]
Packages (2) lib2geom-1.3-2  inkscape-1.4-1

I'm wondering if this has to do with the now updated 2geom-1.4.0 ?
Since building this locally, that seems to be the installed version now (2geom-1.4.0)

Now, with another update, the issue is fixed:
world/lib2geom version 1.4-1.1,
world/inkscape version 1.4-2.
