Libopenshot preventing update

Support AUR
1

Hi, hope I am in the right place for this but, I can’t update at all, so, I am not sure what to do it seems an Arch package is causing my problems, but who knows if that is the only one; I always get nerfed by large updates… Here is my current problem: could not satisfy dependencies:

  • removing libopenshot breaks dependency ‘libopenshot’ required by openshot

I tried to do it one Terminal and got:

sudo pacman -Syyu
\[sudo\] password for scott:

Why are you choosing no when the default (recommended) choice is Yes? Failure to accept recommended replacement packages may result in an unsupported, partially updated system.

openshot has been removed from the repos and is now an AUR package. So, remove it from your system first before proceeding with your update:

sudo pacman -Rns openshot libopenshot

If you still require openshot, you can try rebuilding it after the update:

pamac build openshot

Although, now that it has been removed from the repos, you might also want to investigate using an alternative application to openshot - preferably one available from the repos.

@scottlynnd1

Possibly kdenlive as one example:

sudo pacman -S kdenlive

Thank You, for the advice…

@scottlynnd1

A recent topic indicates that OpenShot sourced via the AUR will no longer build.

The release .appimage from the OpenShot site has apparent compatibility issues with Arch-based distributions – it’s also reported that the latest release candidate .appimage seems to work, suggesting the next release will have overcome these issues.

I can personally confirm the above issues.

Additionally, the .flatpak version seems to work without issue, at least, for the time being.

flatpak install openshot

While I’m not involved in the decision-making process with respect why OpenShot was removed from the official repositories, its removal is nonetheless an indicator that it may be time to move on to something else…

Thus, the note from @scotty65;

and my suggestion of the flagship KDE application:

The obvious question remains…

Did your update complete as expected after removal of OpenShot as per instructions from @scotty65 ?

  • If it did… :partying_face:
  • If it did not… Please open a new Support topic in the appropriate category to address that.

Please mark the post that helped you the most as the solution to this topic – find that button beneath the respective post.

Regards.

I’m not the person who asked the question, but had the same problem. I can confirm that removing OpenShot was enough to be able to update again. And I will check out Kdenlive as a replacement

A fine replacement it is, too.

OpenShot seems to have fallen from grace (for whatever reason) but as said, the .flatpak version seems to work well enough – for how long, is difficultr to say.

Kdenlive I’m guessing will likely fill your need, but if not, there are still a few other decent options.

Start a new topic if you’d like some help.

Regards.

And they seem to have run away without marking a solution to their issue – I’ll rectify that for them.
