[SOLVED] Gtk3 widgets?

I don’t know if this is the right category to post this issue in.

Over the past few days, while doing the normal update, I get this question asked in the terminal:

:: Replace wxgtk-common with extra/wxwidgets-common? [Y/n] n
:: Replace wxgtk3 with extra/wxwidgets-gtk3? [Y/n] n

The 1st time I answered “yes” but then it said it could not complete the update. So, now I answer “no” and the update process goes to the end.

The penultimate line of output is Missing AUR Packages: wxgtk-common wxgtk2 wxgtk3.

What should I do with this?

See: https://archlinux.org/news/wxwidgets-32-update-may-need-manual-intervention/

Remove wxgtk2 first and then proceed with the upgrade answering “Y”.

Edit
Ah, you did the upgrade answering “n” already?
Remove wxgtk2: sudo pacman -R wxgtk2
Then replace the other two: sudo pacman -S wxwidgets-common wxwidgets-gtk3 (Answer with “Y”)

Just beat me

Yep, that worked fine. Thanks a lot for your help :smile:

Thanks for this! It allowed me to update with no apparent issues.

However, espanso is now complaining that it doesn’t find a shared library called libwx_gtk2u_html-3.0.so.0. As espanso depended on wxgtk3, can it be that replacing wxgtk3 with wxwidgets-common breaks espanso (or filezilla, which also depends on wxgtk3)?

A more general question would be: replacing renamed packages with pacman -S is expected to break the packages that depended on them?

Seems to be an AUR package. Try rebuilding it…

Normally not. In this case, those packages got a version upgrade as well. The Arch team will rebuild all packages that depend on those.

Yes! That worked, thank you. I had already tried reinstalling it but forgot to clean before compiling, so I guess I was not really rebuilding it from scratch.

Thanks for the explanation!

Are these tutorials useful (I’m thinking of the archlinux site, but I’m not registered there) for beginners or just laziness (too much information).

More on the wxWidgets page you can see that a major version change has been made : https://www.wxwidgets.org .

For me, p7zip-gui had to be updated, but it is up to date : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/p7zip-gui .
