Description:

The jack2 package has a missing dependency for 'celt', which causes jackd to crash on startup. I believe this is also true for the jack2-dbus package, but haven't tested it.

My package version of the jack2 package is 1.9.9.5-3, which should be the newest.

Steps to reproduce:
run 'pacman -S jack2-dbus' on a system that doesn't have the 'celt' package installed
run 'jackd'. You should get 'jackd: error while loading shared libraries: libcelt0.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Notified maintainer of spice and the other celt to depend on it explicitly.

I just checked the jack2 package and it actually does list celt as a dependency. I'm sorry for not checking first.

However, pacman doesn't install celt when I try installing jack2, so this might actually be a pacman bug (maybe because celt is both a makedep and normal dependency?). Or this this just a feature I'm unaware of? In this case, I'd like to apologize for my stupidity and the waste of time.

You probably have the celt0.5.1 package installed, which "provides" celt. If it doesn't actually work as an equivalent to celt, that "provides" should be removed.

Not your stupidity, just a bug in a different package.

Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't aware of the celt brought in by Sergej. If he wants to keep it then I will have to update both jack packages to depend on a >=version of celt.

There's other packages that would need to be changed as well, but Arch doesn't seem to work that way. When Lua was updated to 5.2, the lua51 package didn't "provide" lua because it didn't work the same as the lua package. Isn't this the same situation where celt0.5.1 just needs to not "provide" celt?

You are correct, that package shouldn't even have a provision. I'll keep this one open until I can get a hold of Sergej.
