Hi,

I had the 29 version of emacs installed, I removed it and want to install version 28, however I get the below conflict when trying to install -

I get the below conflict when trying to install

Considering I just installed it with no problems:

$ pamac install emacs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Preparing...

I think your system and/or mirrors are of sync and not updated. So resync you mirrors:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5

And update your system:

pamac upgrade && pamac upgrade --aur --devel || echo -e '\033[0;91mThere was an error upgrading the system. AUR packages not upgraded.\e[0m'

Reboot, and try to install emacs again:

pamac install emacs

Hope this helps!

Tip:

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

@Fabby

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

---

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

The correct command would be pamac install emacs

(or sudo pacman -Syu emacs)

Otherwise, you’ll end up in a Partial Upgrade state.

I get the below error while installing emacs -

$ pamac -S emacs
pamac: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Mirdarthos]

Have you done the update that I mentioned? And @mithrial and me gave you more correct commands to install stuff.

And besides, you’re not very clear on what happens and how you’re going about things. Please see:

I get the below error while installing emacs -

$ pamac -S emacs
pamac: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Okay, so if you duplicate your question, I’ll duplicate my answer:

@mithrial

The correct command would be pamac install emacs

(or sudo pacman -Syu emacs)

Otherwise, you’ll end up in a Partial Upgrade state.

[murtaza52]

I tried the below command and I get the same error as above.

pamac install emacs

I am now doing sudo pacman -Syu emacs, its not complete yet.

@murtaza52

I am now doing sudo pacman -Syu emacs, its not complete yet.

Well then, wait for it to complete.
