Package manager update for python-shiboken2 does not go away

[Patitud]

Package manager shows this update in AUR:

python-shiboken2
Python bindings for shiboken2
Update version: 5.15.16-1 → 5.15.16-3

I apply the update and the building process takes several minutes.

When finished, the update request does not go away, it keeps showing in package manager with the same versions.

Tried the update 3 times and the same thing happens.

Here is the start and end parts of the log which seems to show some error messages:

Did you already try to update in terminal or console ?

This may help because you will see the errormessages, and can copy them for us to see them.

Did you already try to update with

sudo pacman -Syu ?

Sometimes the update works better with pacman in terminal.

But in order to work efficiently, we shall also ask you to follow three major points. Provide context Simply signaling an issue is rarely enough to understand how it occurred.

[HowTo] Post command output and file content as preformatted text

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Formatting differences Discourse – this forum’s engine – uses Markdown to format its posts, and removes “unnecessary” whitespace. Terminal commands often produce output formatted so that they are better readable by the user, taking advantage of the monospaced font used.

Do you actually need python-shiboken2 or is it just a deprecated package you still have?

PS.

@Patitud

Refreshing PackageKit...

packagekit should not be used on Arch or Manjaro.

Running that commad says the system is already updated.

I don’t know what it is.

@Patitud

advertencia: plymouth: la versión instalada (24.004.60-6) es más nueva que extra (22.02.122-18)

Do you have Plymouth installed from the AUR? Or were you on Unstable branch and have since moved back to Stable branch?

@Patitud

@cscs

Do you actually need python-shiboken2 or is it just a deprecated package you still have?

I don’t know what it is.

To see if it is a required dependency of any package, just run the command:

pacman -Qi python-shiboken2

If it isn’t required by anything, then remove it:

sudo pacman -R python-shiboken2

[linux-aarhus]

python-shiboken2 package is a custom AUR build.

You will need to rebuild the package depending on python-shiboken2.

From the output below it appears the package has been demoted to AUR on April 16. 2024 and part of pyside2.

Most people have it from an unmaintained (usually plasma) system.
(It used to be in the repos.)

Thats why the first question is … ‘do you really need it?’

It says it is a dependency of python.
Is it safe to remove?

Yes - it is safe to remove as it is not a required dependency of anything.
