Errors trying to install any-dl

General system Pacman

Hello World,

I’ve been trying to install the any-dl package/app/program, whatever you call it over here, for a couple of days and every time I keep getting errors. Here is todays terminal output, everything went fine until I got to this part with conflicts, I enter Y to remove, but still…

What can I do please?

If you want the full terminal output let me know, just be advised it’s 5 miles long and(to my newb eye at least) I didn’t notice any other issues until this last part.

2

This package is trying to install an AUR version of the older ocaml4, but your system has packages that depend on the official ocaml (v5) package already installed.

It may be possible to force the matter, but I suspect that’s likely to break dependencies somewhere.

3

Oh. :frowning: When you say “force the matter” are you reffering to doing what it wants and replacing my newer versions with the older ones?
What about installing it in a way that makes it use the updated versions that I already have installed? Would that work, is that even possible?

Or must I really look for something else? Cause from what I’ve seen so far it’s kinda slim pickings when it comes to video download apps… :frowning:

4

If referring to Youtube content, tried Freetube?

5

Would it work? Maybe, but I have my doubts because typically the AUR package would already make use of an official package if that was feasible.

Is it even possible? Yes. Download and extract that package snapshot from the any-dl AUR page into a temp folder, and modify the PKGBUILD file to make use of ocaml instead of ocaml4.
Then try building it by running makepkg -sri within that folder.

6

I see… Ok, thank you very much, I’ll give Freetube a try then.
The content yeah it’s mostly youtube downloads but once in a blue moon I do find myself needing to download videos from other more obscure sites too. And that’s part of what attracted me to any-dl.

7

Perhaps yt-dlp supports those “obscure sites”?

8

Wooow, that is a lot lot of sites, cool. :grin: Thank you so much, yeah I’ll definitely check it out when I can(right now I’m stuck waiting for answers on my latest thread before I do anything else).
