Description:
When I try to install extra/archboot, pacman cannot get rt2x00-cvs
lisa@foo:~$ LC_ALL=C sudo pacman -S archboot
resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "rt2x00-cvs", a dependency of "archboot"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: archboot: requires rt2x00-cvs
lisa@foo:~$

It does also depend on iwlwifi which does not exist, and itself(archboot).

It seems to work if I remove rt2x00-cvs, iwlwifi and archboot from the dependency list,


Steps to reproduce:
1. Update the pacman database
2. Try to install extra/archboot via pacman
This task depends upon

Can confirm - iwlwifi and rt2x00-cvs don't exist anymore, the package needs to be updated. The self-dependency also exists.

I'm still getting this... Is archboot considered obsolete?
Comment by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa) - Sunday, 12 October 2008, 06:53 GMT
no it isn't obsolete im rewriting it

There is dependency resolution failed bug... The package is looking for a bcm43xx-fwcutter which doesn't exist in repo, and should be replaced with b43-fwcutter. I'm posting a patch for PKGBUILD to fix this...
