I am trying to install these two packages

community/jwmconf 0.1-1
    an interactive jwm interface using pmenu
community/manjaro-jwm-settings 20180515-1

but both give me missing packages dependencies

sudo pacman -S manjaro-jwm-settings
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "gtk-theme-stylishdark", a dependency of "manjaro-jwm-settings"
warning: cannot resolve "ultraflatorange-icon-theme", a dependency of "manjaro-jwm-settings"
warning: cannot resolve "xcursor-rezowhite", a dependency of "manjaro-jwm-settings"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      manjaro-jwm-settings

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] n
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

sudo pacman -S jwmconf
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "pmenu", a dependency of "jwmconf"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      jwmconf

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] n
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'pmenu' required by jwmconf

Can these missing packages/dependencies be added to the repositories please?

Thanks ,

Hi there

Are you updated ?

sudo pacman -Syu

Hello,
yes and just checked again by running sudo pacman -Syu

Oh, I just checked.
That first package is from 2018! It seems to have been forgotten about.
You may need to go the unbranded way for JWM and/or deal with the packages manually.
(or wait for someone to fix it…)

We no longer have a Manjaro JWM Community Edition. Those packages are leftover and have not been touched in years. We may decide to drop dropped them since there is currently no maintainer.

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button–NOT the Quote " button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    type or paste code here
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    type or paste code here
    </pre></code>

I’ve done it for you this time. :wink:
