I wanted to install it to be able to test two implementations. Yes, the PKGBUILD of amdvlk package should definitely be fixed. I will ask a maintainer. Of course I can rebuild amdvlk with edited conflicts array. But I was just wondering if it is possible to force install conflicting packages with pacman.
Pacman does not remove my configurations that the application creates. I installed wine once and had a hell of a time removing all the entries it made in pcmanfm.
I downloaded pacman-contrib manually and it works, but I cannot install the missing packages, after following the guide: here is a list of my missing package list:
I'm a new user and this is a fresh install. When I try installing something through pacman, even neofetch, I get a "Target not found" [robo@Arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S neofetch [sudo] password for robo: error: target not found: neofetch I tried to look online for any information. Maybe I don't have a library that I can install pkg from or something like that. I saw that command online /etc/pacman ...
Arch: pacman -S sniffles - also installs libsniffle, libsniffle-dev pacman -Rcns sniffles - also removes libsniffle and libsniffle-dev Perfect operating system: <package manager> <install option> sniffles - laughs and blames it on temporary insanity that you'd want to install anything having anything to do with sniffles.
Upon cursory inspection of installed package list, packages I recognize seem to correspond to the packages I explicitlly installed over the past 3 or 4 years since first boot. Nothing is obviously odd here. Kinda stumped here, as this had never happened before. ( Last edited by Cbhihe (2021-05-13 17:53:10)
if pacman ever stops working due to a partial update, the solution isn't to compile from source, the solution is to use a live usb and pacstrap the missing / required package. that's what you should be doing.
