[solved] libxfcegui4 is not available for the armv7h arch

[kaprikawn]

Hi, I've got XFCE installed on my Raspberry PI 2 and I just did a yaourt -Syua and the following error came up:

Code: Select all

==> Continue building libxfcegui4 ? [Y/n]
==> -------------------------------------
==>
==> Building and installing package
==> ERROR: libxfcegui4 is not available for the 'armv7h' architecture.
    Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
    such as arch=('armv7h').
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build libxfcegui4.
==> Restart building libxfcegui4 ? [y/N]
==> ------------------------------------

According to this page :

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a ... 77647.html

this package is no longer needed or used by any other package.

Is it safe to remove this package so I don't get errors the next time I do system upgrades? Or should I add the Arm achitecture to the PKGBUILD and build it anyway?

Thanks in advance.

The command "pacman -Qi libxfcegui4" will tell you if there are any packages on your system that depend on it. It is highly likely that those depending on it previously, no longer do, but you may have to research the dependencies of those other packages to make sure. Pacman can examine the dependencies of packages that have not yet been installed, using the tar.xz file that you download or that is already in the cache waiting for upgrade.

Thanks, that was useful. I did that and got :

According to the link I posted, xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin is also obselete. I checked that too :

I'm going to go ahead and delete both.
