Archlinux template system update

[Franz]

After fresh install of Archlinux update, doing a

sudo powerpill -Syu

it seems to download correctly all packages, but at the end it finds conflicts that cannot be resolved typing "y"

see:

Status Legend:
(OK):download completed.
:: Starting full system upgrade...

:: xorg-server and xf86-input-joystick are in conflict (X-ABI-XINPUT_VERSION). Remove xf86-input-joystick? [y/N] y

:: qubes-vm-gui: installing xorg-server (1.19.1-5) breaks dependency 'xorg-server<1.19.0'

So the qubes-package is tied to a specific version of those packages:
if you force an upgrade on them you *may* break the qubes-package.
You can try the upgrade and see what happens, or you could put pulseaudio
and xorg-server in IgnorePkg in pacman.conf. Likely this will break
something, so you may have to fall back to ignoring whole groups, but
it's worth trying.

Remember that even if you hose your qube, so that graphics don't work,
you can usually connect in with xl console , and try to fix things up
from there.

Also, you should clone the template, and try the forced upgrade in
the clone. If it does not work and you are short of time the you can simply
switch back to the original template. If it works OK, then carry on using
the updated template.

This seems very safe to try thanks

If it does not work and you are short of time the you can simply
switch back to the original template. If it works OK, then carry on using
the updated template.

I wonder if am the only one with this issue.

No, I've seen this on real Archlinux systems as well and for Debian the Qubes
packages also need updates for dealing with pulseaudio >= 10…

Even forcing the update I cannot go much further:

do you really need xf86-input-joystick?

Absolutely not, but my first message shows what happens if I digit "n"

You're not the only one. I have it too and I haven't been able to get past it. It happens immediately when trying to upgrade the standard Arch template.

[Nick Darren]

This kind of problem can be avoid if you have the latest 'qubes-vm-gui' binary installed before the upgrade happened.

I wonder why someone didn't put it on the AUR at least or somewhere else as 3rd party addon repo for archlinux template.

So, you don't need to recompile the template again and again for the same problem.

Latest "qubes-vm-gui" dependency changed to pulseaudio>=10.0 pulseaudio<11.0 xorg-server>=1.19.0 xorg-server<1.20.0.

How to replace qubes-vm-gui with old version?

I was able to fix this issue by writing

[qubes-r3.2]
Server = http://olivier.medoc.free.fr/archlinux/current

into /etc/pacman.d/99-qubes-repository/3.2.conf

Then you have to trust Olivier Medoc's key by running as root: (verify
this first to make sure you trust this)

pacman-key -r D85EE12F967851CCF433515A2043E7ACC1833B9C
pacman-key --lsign-key D85EE12F967851CCF433515A2043E7ACC1833B9C


I'm not 100% sure of how trustable this key or repository is so take
this with a grain of salt.

After you've added the repository and key, run

pacman -Syu

to do a full upgrade

I've had some issues with arch after upgrading the kernel -- namely,
what is discussed here
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2649 -- so beware that
this is only a beginning solution.
