paru fails at dependency / conflict resolution of split packages depending on different package bases #1173

Affected Version

paru v2.0.3 - libalpm v14.0.0

Description

I'm trying to get paru installing a pretty huge split package consisting of two AUR pkgbase repos with several split packages.

PKGBASE 1 : aur/flutter
PKGBASE 2 : aur/flutter-artifacts-google-bin

The package is constructed in the following way :

the aur/flutter base contains all components built from source
the aur/flutter-artifacts-google-bin base contains a PKGBUILD fetching required artifacts for Flutter from Google CI - this package provides all artifacts required by split sub packages of the flutter base as split packages. E.g. : flutter-engine-android required by flutter-traget-android. Whereas the engine is provided by another pkg base than the target package.
all flutter group packages depend on their corresponding dependencies in the exact version. E.g. flutter-target-android=3.19.5 depends on flutter-engine-android=3.19.5. I guess it's obvious that makes sense.
in order to avoid dependency resolution issues with AUR helpers (encountered issues in both yay and paru), I added a conflicts section enforcing to first unsinstall all previous versions before trying to upgrade to the next version.
Paru, instead of building and packaging all split packages from the group (provided in the two pkg bases) tries, to first install flutter-common in the new version - which conflicts with all other installed packages of the group.
Instead of now asking to remove the previous version, the command fails - pacman is not run interactively here in order to allow that.
Most useful would be simply building all packages and then installing them at once - this would best imitate the behavior of pacman, as pacman also first downloads all explicit packages and dependencies and then installs all of them at once.

I understand that this is a pretty complex case of dependency resolution. But the AUR upstream definitely provides all required dependency and conflict declarations mandatory in order to perform an upgrade of the package. Still paru doesn't reach at upgrading it.

The easiest way to fix this dependency resolution would be simply allowing the user to confirm the removal proposed by pacman.

The more clean way of fixing this behavior would be making paru first build and package all split packages and then installing all of them at once.

A similar thing also happens with zfs-dkms and zfs-utils. Paru attempts to upgrade each of them one at a time instead of rebuilding both and installing them at the same time. Because they depend on specific versions of each other, the install fails. I have to use -Syud and force ignore the version number in order for it to go through.

TheOneWithTheBraid · 2024-05-10T18:25:38Z

The -d flag and -Syud respectively won't help. It still fails at the question whether it should remove the previous version since it's running non-interactively.

I just tried to build it and it worked. I'm not sure what has changed since this issue was opened, if the pkgbuilds are laid out differently now or something. Or was installing it always fine but upgrading is where the issues are?

Paru has had some bug fixes to the dep resolver so that could be it too. Though normally with stuff like this you can just build in a chroot and sidestep the whole thing.

drrlvn · 2024-12-14T10:34:34Z

Installing is fine but upgrading fails. Using paru v2.0.4 - libalpm v15.0.0:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing zfs-utils (2.2.7-1) breaks dependency 'zfs-utils=2.2.6' required by zfs-dkms

romanstingler · 2024-12-15T18:38:53Z

@drrlvn do you have cachyOS or other sources or do you build from AUR ??

drrlvn · 2024-12-15T18:46:40Z

I don’t have cachyOS, I only build zfs-dkms and zfs-utils with paru.

romanstingler · 2024-12-15T21:50:23Z

@drrlvn did it work now ?? Maybe just the version in the AUR repo was not up-to-date

Morganamilo · 2024-12-27T14:35:08Z

I've tested this. This does not work because paru will install aur packages one at a time. --batchinstall doesn't fix it because it uses a naive check and flushes the install queue as soon as it detects a package it can't install. Instead of looking ahead and realising both could be installed together.

This is something that will probably we fixed an overall of the dep solving so there's no immediate fix.

However if you're using local repos and chroots it works fine.
