Issues with libpamac-aur

Support AUR
1

it looks like pacman was updated to 7.0.0. We are getting issues with libpamac-aur dependency:

resolving dependencies…
looking for conflicting packages…
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing pacman (7.0.0.r3.g7736133-1) breaks dependency ‘libalpm.so=14’ required by libpamac-aur
:: installing pacman (7.0.0.r3.g7736133-1) breaks dependency ‘pacman<6.2’ required by libpamac-aur

This makes the update failed. Any idea when this is going to be upgraded ? Kindly let us know.

Why would you install Pamac from AUR on Manjaro? Anyway even if that would make any bit of sense, AUR is UNSUPPORTED. Install Pamac from repositories. If you have an AUR package question, comment on the AUR page and ask the maintainer there.

And uninstall libpamac-aur, i would say. Makes absolutely no sense to have it instead of the original from the repos.

He can remove it be that is redundant, installing Pamac from repositories will remove the AUR version as it conflicts with Pamac.

I have no issues with pacman and pamac (the AUR is Arch User Repository and unsupported).

Are you sure your system is up-to-date?

He installed Pamac from AUR, it doesn’ work with Pacman 7, as he could have seen on the AUR page itself.

What I mean is that Pamac has been rebuild for the new libalpm - so technically - on Manjaro Pamac works - we still have to be aware that minor issues may surface due to the extended database format libalpm uses.

What I meant is that it is 100% an AUR issue as his provided log shows so I wouldn’t waste to much time on that

AUR (en) - pamac-aur Apparently the issue has been fixed and instructions to resolve the issue is on the AUR page in the comments.

//EDIT: anyway, as said, someone on Manjaro should NOT install Pamac from AUR it makes no sense, we provide Pamac from the official repositories.
