on fresh install file /usr/lib/libbfd.so lacks header “/* GNU ld script */” so I see complains on terminal

All versions of mldonkey crash in arch32 updated. (segmentation fault and core dumped)

Very easy to reproduce. lldb version 10.0.0, just try to run any binary.

[aeden@arch32 bin]$ lldb $(which date)
(lldb) target create “/usr/bin/date” Current executable set to ‘/usr/bin/date’ (i386).
(lldb) run
error: failed to launch or debug process

RC4 support not found
The following options are missing in the kernel:

CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECB
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4

I am using Arch Linux 32 latest version on Sony VAIO VGN-FS215Z . The following is the audio device:

-fs215z:~$ lspci | grep -i audio

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)

When I boot the system after some time getting crackling sound in speaker. Sometimes it stops after few minutes and sometimes continue to sound. Really annoying. I am not getting the normal audio in any application. This problem was there in debian based OSs also but not there in any other OS.

Please help.

gzip comes with asm code, if enabled, built a TEXTREL which gets bloqued on boot, so systemd don’t set keymap
A lot of tricks in forums, old thread more complete here $506 An old problem. Work around while asm gets fixed is call configure with DEFS=”NO_ASM” like this:

...
export DEFS="NO_ASM"
./configure ....

or,

./configure DEFS="NO_ASM" ....

I have not tested it, but gentoo on x32 have gzip like this and no TEXTRELS here.
No matter i486, i686 or pentium.

Hope it helps.

Best regards.

libprotobuf=28 is a mumble (package) dependency, but protobuf package has libprotobuf=32.

I needed to downgrade to protobuf-3.17.3-1.3-pentium4.pkg.tar.zst (from the archive) to install mumble.

Starting terminus gives following error:

from ._cairo import *  # noqa: F401,F403
ImportError: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.cpython-310-i386-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: cairo_tee_surface_index

Bug seens to be related to

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77367

There is generall mess on cairo related files for different architectures (pentium4, i486, i686) - some packages for one architecture are outdated, while for other archictectures are up to date, for instance:

• python-cairo i486/extra : 1.21.0-1.0
• python-cairo i686/extra : 1.23.0-3.0
• python-cairo pentium4/extra : 1.23.0-3.0

This is pentium4 related problem. Firefox crashes on startup with following messages:

ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 814
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...

Screenshot. Firefox folder after crash.

Temporary solution is to change in /etc/pacman/conf

Architecture=i686

, delete firefox for pentium4 from pacman cache and reinstall firefox

firefox-106.0.3.1.1-i686

gcompris-qt 3.0-1.0 is missing a dependency on llvm14 (or maybe it needs a rebuild for llvm) and thus it doesn’t show any game in the menu.

The latest version of calibre is 6.16.

The version in the repositories is 6.11.0-1.0 and unfortunately will no longer start.

python-setuptools-scm 7.1.0-4.1 as found in the repo is missing the dependencies python-packaging and python-setuptools, which breaks the build of many other packages.

just wanted to get this one on the board - i am unable to build ‘python-pyqt5’ which many other packages depend on, such as ‘qutebrowser’

the current ‘python-pyqt5’ PKGBUILD, which builds fine for x86_64 and arm, has unspecified dependencies in the i686 repos - not sure why that is

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘jaraco.functools’
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘jaraco.context’

that is easily fixed by requiring them explicitly:
> makedepends_i686=(’python-jaraco.context’ ‘python-jaraco.functools’)

however, after that, it gives a more fatal error:

sip-build: Unable to import ‘project.py’: No module named ‘pyqtbuild’

that module is in the ‘pyqt-builder’ package, i beleive - ‘pyqt-builder’ is installed as a build dependency; but it was built for python 3.9 - so probably that is why the build could not find the module

needs rebuild against latest ‘boost’

The package needs to be recompiled for re2 v10 and several required dependencies were not installed, such as icu69 (?) and more.

From a fresh install just now:

The /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages folder is full of dozens of files, but there is little in the 3.11 folder. Some examples: gajim yt-dlp zippy samba.

This seems to affect most new packages that I install, so it is by no means limited to just the examples.

no task description

Package ‘screen 4.9.1-1.0’ is missing dependency libutempter. I assume this is because libutempter used to be a dependency of util-linux which is part of base, so was assumed to be installed.

With the regular Arch Linux distro libutempter is still a dependency of util-linux.
