I cannot upgrade libkipi

Support AUR
21

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.

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.

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.

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:

I had the same issue, but I was able to build libkipi after making sure base-devel is installed.

I assume you mean the “base-devel-meta” package? Installing that didn’t do it for me.
