Title: Both pandoc and pandoc-bin are available in the galaxy repo
Post by: fehigax145 on 26 June 2021, 17:13:17
Code: [Select]
galaxy/pandoc-bin 2.14.0.3-1 [9.46MiB 73.21MiB]
    Pandoc - executable only, without 750MB Haskell depends/makedepends
galaxy/pandoc 2.14.0.1-1 [9.46MiB 73.12MiB]
    Pandoc - executable only, without 750MB Haskell depends/makedepends
I think it's a mistake.

So, I had "pandoc" from Artix installed and ran:

Code: [Select]
pacman -Syuu

Then suddenly dozens of new haskell dependencies appeared on the output.  It
seems that since "pandoc" was removed from the Artix repo, pacman tried to pull
the one with "750MB Haskell depends/makedepends" from the Arch repo.

After finding this thread, I ran:

Code: [Select]
pacman -R pandoc; pacman -S pandoc-bin

And it seems to have fixed it.

I think it would have been better to have temporarily kept a dummy "pandoc"
package as a redirect to "pandoc-bin", especially since the Artix package
was already overshadowing the one from Arch anyway.
