[SOLVED] Flagged Out Of Date: python-eyed3

[UncleSpellbinder]

I just checked for updates using yay and got the following…

wombat@darkside ~> yay
[sudo] password for wombat:

 -> Flagged Out Of Date AUR Packages: python-eyed3
 there is nothing to do

Seems python-eyed3 is “out of date” due to python-filetype no longer in any Arch repo or AUR.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-eyed3

EDIT:

And python-eyed3 cannot be removed due to xapp-mp3-thumbnailer dependency.

wombat@darkside ~> yay -Rns python-eyed3
[sudo] password for wombat:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing python-eyed3 breaks dependency 'python-eyed3' required by xapp-mp3-thumbnailer

I can see both of the packages with yay -Si.

I resolved the issue by removing xapp-mp3-thumbnailer and installing ffmpegthumbnailer-mp3.

[manuel]

Haven’t used either of them, so don’t know if they both are OK for your use case.
Anyway great if the new one works for you.

Seems fine with ffmpegthumbnailer-mp3. I just wanted the ability to show the embedded album art when opening a folder containing .mp3 files.
