arm-none-eabi-gdb is broken due to not satisfiable dependency: “libpython3.8.so.1.0” After recompiling from upstream it works.

486 will be removed from the kernel and especially from 6.1 onwards rust will be integrated with the kernel…

The packages for syslog-ng since version 3.27.1-1.0 appears to have been built without systemd support. Although their PKGBUILD runs configure with –enable-systemd, running syslog-ng –version shows Enable-Systemd: off. The official Arch x86_64 package (at version 3.28.1-1) doesn’t exhibit this problem.

I tried building the package locally on i686 using the official Arch PKGBUILD and could not reproduce the problem. My locally built version correctly finds libsystemd during configure, and gets built with systemd support. This leads me to believe the problem happens somewhere in the Archlinux32 build process.

The practical upshot of the problem is that the systemd unit file supplied with syslog-ng lists it as a Type=notify service, but when it fails to notify systemd after startup, systemd eventually kills it and restarts it repeatedly:

The package speedtest-cli (2.1.3-2.0) is missing the following scripts:
usr/bin/speedtest
usr/bin/speedtest-cli

These are generated scripts, but they should be included in the package.

Seamonkey is built with now outdated versions of libffi and icu (69). Neither pentium4 nor i686 build starts right now.

In s-tui 1.1.3-2.0, the run script /usr/bin/s-tui is missing. Only the files under /usr/lib/python3.10 are included in the package.

In the upstream Arch package the file is included: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/s-tui/

Rebuilding the package on a pentium4 machine resulted in a correct package. I cannot find any Arch Linux 32 specific PKGBUILD, so I’m not sure where this problem comes from. Maybe just rebuilding the package will fix it.

After my most recent sysupgrade, postgresql refuses to start. The main postgres binary appears to be linked to multiple versions of libicu:

$  ldd /usr/bin/postgres | grep icu
	libicui18n.so.69 => /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.69 (0xb6c00000)
	libicuuc.so.69 => /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.69 (0xb6a0c000)

	libicudata.so.70 => /usr/lib/libicudata.so.70 

(0xb27a4000)

Installing the icu69 compatibility package made it work again, but it doesn’t look right that it should link against multiple versions.

The postgis package version 3.1.1-1.0 on pentium4 does not work because only
libproj-1.5.so is installed, and not the required libproj-2.2.so.

On upstream there seems to have been some rebuild of newer versions of gdal 3.2.2 and proj 8.0.0:
https://archlinux.org/todo/gdal-322-and-proj-800-rebuild/

There is currently a problem preventing the installation of pavucontrol on i686:

resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libcanberra=0.30+2+gc0620e4-3.2", a dependency of "libcanberra-pulse"
warning: cannot resolve "libcanberra-pulse", a dependency of "pavucontrol"

:: unable to satisfy dependency 'libcanberra=0.30+2+gc0620e4-3.2' required by libcanberra-pulse
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'libcanberra-pulse' required by pavucontrol

this is a rather severe bug - it prevents GTK DMs, DEs, and programs from starting (lightdm, lxdm, lxde, leafpad)

the error is evident immediately in the pacman log - see: http://termbin.com/vezp

g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so: /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_memdup2

/usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-3.0: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_memdup2

if you disable the DM service, you can get the same error by launching the DE directly

$ startlxde

$ paccheck pacman

It seems to be in the –files check (as with that the crash happens quicker).

Debuginfod doesn’t seem to work for ArchLinux32 (unlike standard ArchLinux) so no debug symbols, but here is the gdb backtrace:

Valgrind does not seem to work properly on Arch32 either, so I can’t test that.

pacman has a dependency upon libarchive with a version recent enough to support zstd compression.

depends=(... 'libarchive>=3.3.3')

This is an issue when upgrading pacman to support the zstd packaging format.
pacman must depend upon libarchive>=3.3.3 for zstd compression support.
libarchive will then depend upon zstd>=1.3.6 for the symbol ZSTD_minCLevel.

Without these, upgrading an old Arch Linux system gives the incomplete - so unhelpful - error message:

error: could not open file /var/cache/pacman/pkg/something.pkg.tar.zst: Unrecognized archive format

How does pacman recognize an archive format? If the user does not already know the answer, they are in trouble. And, mistakenly circumventing the package compression to force an upgrade of pacman alone will lead to even more trouble, since pacman itself is not the source of the problem.

ncmpcpp-git compiles on AUR with no problem with all dependencies found on AL32 repositories.

this is a rather critical bug - it is required by gtk and qt, via libcups; so most desktop users are affected by it

Installing yay from AUR

Reason - outdated version of go in i686 architecture

Temporary solution - use go for pentium4 (change temporarily architecture to pentium4 in /etc/pacman.conf)

$ gedit
gedit: error while loading shared libraries: libtepl-5.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Exist extra/tepl 6.00.0-1.0 in the pacman.
I’m not sure if gedit is old or can only be used with an older version of tepl, which is not possible because i get tepl from 3 days.

Pacman recently upgraded python from 3.8 to 3.9, which breaks the gdb package:

% gdb
gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

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.

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

Hi!

I just mentioned that exim stopped sending me emails… So I just upgraded to the package in community-testing… And now exim sends me emails, that complain about things like this:
“warning: exim: local (4.95-2.0) is newer than community (4.95-1.0)”

Is there a reason, that the fresh package is being tested since a month now?

Thx.

Bye.

The dart sdk files are still availble for ia32:-

can you send the old PKGBUILD which was used

I did not see a way to report a package outdated (unlike upstream arch linux) so here is a bug report.

chezmoi (a dot file manager for your home directory) is way outdated in arch32, especially the non-pentium4 versions. This makes it unusable for me as my config depends on newer features.

I would at least expect arch32 to have the same version for i686 and pentium4.
