I cannot upgrade libkipi

iCEVooDoo · 13 May 2022 11:43

I weird because this was happened after this upgrade, and I don’t remember to install myself this package.
I try how much is possible to avoid AUR packages. Using your command seems it is not used by anything…

pacman -Qi libkipi                                                                                                                                                 ✔

Ok thanks, but what can I do about it? Uninstall “libkipi”?

freggel.doe · 13 May 2022 05:53

Where does that come from? libkipi is neither mentioned the error message you quoted nor in the answer given to you.

Remove the EOL kernel linux516 before upgrading.

pappl · 13 May 2022 08:48

libkipi (AUR) can’t be updated. WTF is this, i never installed it.

Der PGP-Schlüssel XXXXXXXXXXXXXX wird benötigt, um libkipi Quellcode-Dateien zu verifizieren.
Vertraue Albert Astals Cid <aacid@kde.org> und importiere den PGP-Schlüssel ?

Is it safe to uninstall it?

maycne.sonahoz · 13 May 2022 08:56

It likely is a former (?) dependency of a package which used to be in the main repositories. Following a clean of upstream repositories, the package and its dependencies unused by other other packages have been moved to AUR.
If no installed package depends on it, or if you don’t use AUR packages depending on it, you can safely remove those packages.

maycne.sonahoz · 13 May 2022 09:37

@linux-aarhus Could you please create a paragraph about former repository packages in your documentation?
Or make it a Wiki post so i add it myself?

linux-aarhus · 13 May 2022 12:26

made wiki - go ahead

Hi,

Same issue, libkipi :-/

no libkipi update with pacman, but libkipi update with pamac …

Install by default with kde, aur package since this update and not before…

https://archlinux.pkgs.org/rolling/userrepository-x86_64/libkipi-22.04.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.html

Thanks a lot for the x86 help team !

libkipi

kxmlgui, kservice, hicolor and extra-cmake are in the extra repo and not aur

It is not required by anything on your system from what you have shown. Is it showing up as an orphaned package?

nl.smart · 13 May 2022 18:10

thanks for your reply.

omano · 13 May 2022 18:14

Linking my post since original thread has been split.

jabber · 13 May 2022 20:08

What happened was:

libkipi was, until recently, a dependency of gwenview and spectacle. Those dependencies are no longer necessary.

Here is the commit that removed libkipi as a dependency of gwenview (notice line #13), and here is the commit that removed it as a dependency of spectacle (line #10).

The package was kept available by moving it to the AUR because it is still required by 2 AUR packages (spectacle-light and kipi-plugins, which require either libkipi or libkipi-git).

dbyentzen · 14 May 2022 00:26

It was an orphan, not used by anything. I removed it successfully without affecting my system. Thank you!

maycne.sonahoz · 14 May 2022 07:06

Now that i look more closely, the version spotted in manjaro-compare is misleading since the package is there part of the kde-unstable repository, which is not enabled by default.

should i uninstall it before updating?

omano · 14 May 2022 17:54

As stated already, multiple packages can sometimes become orphans after an update, they are not needed anymore.

You can update with Pacman with no issue. If you have AUR enabled and try to update with something supporting the AUR like Pamac, and this package exists in the AUR, then it will try to update it through the AUR (which is the case here). You can remove your orphans in theory without issue.

linub · 14 May 2022 18:01

i just saw the anouncement from Philm:

libkipi is a deprecated dependency for some KDE applications, and has been moved to AUR.
When using Pamac graphically, you can disable the update for libkipi, before removing it from your system.

so i guess it’s: disable the update for this package->update->remove package.

Flopy · 15 May 2022 20:56

Turns out libkipi is an orphan now relegated to the AUR. Use sudo pacman -Qtdq to list your orphans, sudo pacman -Qqdt | sudo pacman -Rns - to delete them.

enhonorspok · 30 May 2022 18:51

Same exactly here. Both my Manjaros (notebook and PC) have libkipi. Notebook Kernel 5.15LTS couldn’t update, PC Kernel 5.17 could.
So I removed libkipi from notebook. Gwenview and Spectacle still working.

Sagbobbit · 24 May 2022 19:54

This is very strange; after a routine system update everything updates just fine, even a new test program installs just fine but CMake can’t build libkipi specifically, although there seems to possibly be a deeper problem because of the way it says it fails a test build. I already tried reinstalling CMake. Here is the output from attempting to update libkipi:
