[SOLVED] Can't install artix-archlinux-support

Hello!, it's been a few days since the first day i start getting these errors when running "pacman -Syu"
Code: [Select]

You should install (Artix's, not Arch's) elogind and uninstall systemd and any packages which depend on it. That's the whole point of Artix.

At this point, if you don't know how to use LiveUSB to install artix versions of the packages from Artix's repos, I'd just reinstall the system from installation media and then set your system according to this article: https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories

Code: [Select]
pacman -R archivetools
pacman -S galaxy/phodav

So, first question why does something require systemd in Artix?
Utter nonsense when you think about it, right?

Upon closer look I found that "archivetools" package is some Archlinux thing and depends on systemd-
Package "phodav" is present in Artix repositories and does not require systemd.

So, your installation is poluted, be you I would reinstall all packages from Artix repositories to be sure that everything works correctly.
I am saying this because there were cases when people had mixed packages after a migration from Arch and experienced strange errors.

Read and question what and why is pacman saying / asking you  these things.

That is all from me.

archivetools is the project used to run the Arch Linux Archive. It's a turnkey solution to snapshot Arch Linux packages repositories, ISOs images and boostrap tarballs. You can deploy one for your own needs.

The Arch Linux Archive (a.k.a ALA), formerly known as Arch Linux Rollback Machine (a.k.a ARM), stores official repositories snapshots, iso images and bootstrap tarballs across time.

In other words, this is a completely unnecessary package for a user of Artix.

So did what SGOrava said, so i remove the archivetools package, and reinstall phodav from Artix's repository. And from this point, i can run pacman -Syu fine. The upgrade went smooth without errors, and after the upgrade i can install the artix-archlinux-support package. Thx guys!
