DetailsI have installed ettercap (0.7.3-11) and ettercap-gtk (0.7.3-5) from extra.
The problem is that ettercap-gtk requires ettercap 0.7.3-11 (this version only), but ettercap is now in the repo at the version 0.7.3-12 and won't update. The effect: # pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ettercap-gtk: requires ettercap=NG_0.7.3-11 # Additional links: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/ettercap/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/ettercap-gtk/ Proposed solution: Make ettercap-gtk to depend on ettercap , any version. Thanks ! |

This package is a good candidate for split packaging, as the ettercap-gtk package is built from the same sources with the same configure options. Note that depending on $pkgrel is insane.
And a quick workaround : add the following line in /etc/pacman.conf
IgnorePkg = ettercap ettercap-gtk
