Octopi update failing

General

Hi, I am running Otopi to install the latest updates, however I am failing with the following:

If I try running pamac manager to update I also get an error:

Screenshot_20250221_094401
Screenshot_20250221_094401745×358 2.42 KB

Any ideas would be really appreciated as Cachy has been very solid for me in the past.

Why using “pamac”? try terminal with “sudo pacman -Syu” or in youre case “sudo pacman -Syuu”

3

Hi, Thansk for the suggestion, however running using " sudo pacman -Syuu” gives the same error as using Octopi

4

did you try to reinstall octopi?

the icu errors have gone after yesterday update

5

Just removed and reinstalled Octopi as well as reboot, same errors when trying the updates again either with Octopi or terminal

6

Did you try to uninstall the following:

alpm_octopi_utils
wine-mono-9.4.0-1
wine-gecko-2.47.4-2

7

I looked for the 3 apps you noted but :

❯ pacman -Qi wine-mono-9.4.0-1
error: package ‘wine-mono-9.4.0-1’ was not found

~
❯ pacman -Qi alpm_octopi_utils
error: package ‘alpm_octopi_utils’ was not found

~
❯ pacman -Qi wine-gecko-2.47.4-2
error: package ‘wine-gecko-2.47.4-2’ was not found

~

Maybe I am using the wrong method to check if they are installed

8

okay, if i run Qs i get:
❯ pacman -Qs wine-gecko
local/wine-gecko 2.47.4-2
Wine’s built-in replacement for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer

However if i then run -R i get:

❯ sudo pacman -R wine-gecko-2.47.4-2
[sudo] password for mark:
error: target not found: wine-gecko-2.47.4-2

9

Resolve the conflicts like what you were doing in OP.

10

ended up deleting electron29 which allowed the -syuu to run through. Hopefully deleting electron29 wont cause issues later

11

If you encounter problems later, you could try installing the -bin package from AUR.

12

do anyone know a good solution? Meanwhile i cannost start Discord & i have no LibreoFiice anymore without update:

  • this by responding NO:
:: octopi-0.17.0-1 and alpm_octopi_utils-1.0.2-9 are in conflict. Remove alpm_octopi_utils? [y/N] 
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: octopi-0.17.0-1 and alpm_octopi_utils-1.0.2-9 are in conflict
  • and this by responding YES:
:: octopi-0.17.0-1 and alpm_octopi_utils-1.0.2-9 are in conflict. Remove alpm_octopi_utils? [y/N] Y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing icu (76.1-1.1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=75-64' required by electron30
:: installing icu (76.1-1.1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=75-64' required by electron30
:: installing flac (1.5.0-1.1) breaks dependency 'libFLAC.so=12-64' required by electron30

Please for a good workaround or professional solution.
Thanks in advance & best regards.

Only guessing but on my system I only have:

sudo pacman -Qs electron

local/electron31 31.7.7-3
    Build cross platform desktop apps with web technologies
local/electron34 34.3.0-1
    Build cross platform desktop apps with web technologies

I remember however that the “Yes” approach is correct. Meaning, you have to remove alpm_octopi_utils since it got integrated into the main package.

So, I guess you have to remove electron30 first, then do the upgrade again. Discord and LibreOffice are working on my end.

14

Say yes to the above conflict and remove electron30 because it’s an orphaned package.

  • well i made/remove (disturbing everything at moment):
sudo pacman -R octopi alpm_octopi_utils
  • than made/remove (another disturber):
sudo pacman -R electron30
  • than (without any error-s, that install the right electron-dependency):
sudo pacman -Syyu
  • than (install/reinstall octopi not needed old dependency):
sudo pacman -Syy octopi
  • and than check:
