[SOLVED] xorgproto 2019.2-2 breaks dependency

Probably a temporary version confusion, but the latest xorgproto seems to have got ahead of some other packages.
IgnorePkg = xorgproto
in /etc/pacman.conf fixed it for now to allow the upgrade to continue.
There is a new libice to go with the new xorgproto so it will be interesting to see how that works, as I've been using my rebuilt one up until now.

Oh yes, it all works if you follow the instructions!
This reminded me I installed artix-news via pip install a while back. But when I ran it, it didn't work:
Code: [Select]
$ artix-news 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/artix-news", line 6, in <module>
    from artix_news import ArtixNewsParser
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'artix_news'
Python had been upgraded to 3.8 so there was just this 3.7 site-packages directory with a couple of other pip installed modules in it as well.
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/

When I used pip install --user I got a warning about not having .local/bin in $PATH, which I was happy with as it might be a security risk. So before I had used sudo pip install for a system wide install after verifying it did not seem to be malware. But that is apparently wrong and you should always use --user according to online advice. So I made a symlink from /usr/local/bin instead - whether that's any better?! However, because the module is installed under /home/$USER/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages I think the same problem will occur again. Also pip uninstall did not want to remove the python3.7 items and thought they were not installed, so I had to delete them manually.
Code: [Select]
$ pip install --user artix-news
WARNING: The script artix-news is installed in '/home/$USER/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
$ sudo ln -s /home/$USER/.local/bin/artix-news /usr/local/bin/artix-news

So using pip install has some complications in the long term. I suppose you could run pip install then pip uninstall afterwards as it's so fast for small apps like this.

And the new libice works correctly too, with no black screen at desktop startup. It doesn't fix the funky borders from xfwm4. But the graphics code there looks probably scheduled for deletion due to switching to client-side decoration (like GTK CSS I guess) in 4.16:

Changing the xpm's to png's  helps with those a bit btw (not quite perfect but a lot better) for some reason, imagemagick must be installed to run this script (reinstall xfwm4 to revert the change if you wanted)
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

for f in /usr/share/themes/{Daloa,Default,Default-hdpi,Default-xhdpi,Kokodi,Moheli}/xfwm4/*.png

do
        if [[ -f $f ]]
        then
        rm ${f}
fi
done

for f in /usr/share/themes/{Daloa,Default,Default-hdpi,Default-xhdpi,Kokodi,Moheli}/xfwm4/*.xpm

do
        if [[ -f $f ]]
        then
        convert ${f} ${f%%.xpm}.png
        rm ${f}
fi

done

I DID follow the instructions on the news item but it still failed:

Code: [Select]
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'dmxproto' required by libdmx

The fix that was just briefly mentioned above:

In the /etc/pacman.conf add the following:
Code: [Select]
IgnorePkg = xorgproto

During upgrade I got this error:
Code: [Select]
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libx11: /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKBgeom.h exists in filesystem (owned by xorgproto)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I removed that file and reran the updgrade.

At the end I removed the IngnorePkg from pacman.conf and reran upgrade and it failed:

I removed xorgproto and reinstalled it.

Perehaps I should have removed xorgproto already from start and reinstalled it at the end instead but that is for someone else to find out.

Cheers,
Erik
I take full responsibility of my Linux systems - I just need some help from time to time.

pacman -Rdd xorgproto
pacman -S xorgproto

I had the same problem. Your proposal worked for me too.
Thank you.
