Hello there.
New guy here. I have a simple question regarding installation of Gimp. Work as an part-time graphic designer -- would like to make Artix my work distro.
Well. Recived this message:
marsheko-ux360ca:[marsheko]:~$ sudo pacman -S gimp
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing poppler (21.09.0-1) breaks dependency 'poppler=21.07.0' required by poppler-qt5
I have enabled the Arch repositories: extra & community. Could this be a systemd conflict issue?
I tried to seach aobut it - found some people that had same issue - but with the distro "Garuda" - not to much help (:
Hope I'm not gooing to look to dumb asking about this. Really like Artix so far!
Cheers

Sounds like mirror may be out of date, I just tried it and I have no issue installing gimp after update
Thanks for reply.
Okay. Would that mean I would have to do something in etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch / etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ?
Or is there some command for changing / resyncing the mirrors?

For Arch you can use https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/
For Artix's I'd move Server = http://mirror1.artixlinux.org/repos/$repo/os/$arch to the top of artix's mirror list file. and comment out dotsrc.org as sometimes I've had issues with that one in the past personally.
Bonjour,
I had a similar problem while wanting to install Gimp on freshly installed Artix openrc.
I messed up adding the Arch repositories and then I couldn't get anywhere.
I reinstalled and updated the system.
Then I followed these instructions from the wiki:
https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories
Thanks for your anwser. I found both mirror files and edited them on you recommondation - but it gives same message. I tried to download some software from both Artix and Arch rep - to ensure that i havent made some errors while editing mirror list- but I can download and install other software without errors.
Thanks for reply! Yes maybe I will resort to a reinstall to - but I would like to spend some more time, to see if I could find the anwser to the problem (:
Did you update with pacman -Syu first? You generally need to do that before installing new packages.
$ pacman -Si poppler-qt5
...
Depends On : poppler=21.09.0 qt5-base
Because if you had the current version of poppler-qt5 it should match the poppler version.
Thank you very much - that did the trick! Now I have to questions :)
1. Since I have installed new packages before running pacman -Syu - do you think I could run into any future problems?
2. Do you know a good page/guide for postinstallment of Artix/Arch (for realtive newbies) ?

No not now you are up-to-date Artix is rolling always update before installing software and at least once a month. I update daily.
