Latest qubes-template-archlinux xorg-server package breaks pacman update completely

[Nick Darren]

Hello,

As the title said, the latest xorg-server version (1.19.1-1) on Arch Linux will break the 'qubes-vm-gui' dependency completely.

I think there's a need to have these Qubes packages on AUR repository as well instead of just re-compiling the archlinux template again and again. I tried both on the old 'my own compile version' of archlinux template and the one from 'qubes-community-template' repo.

I'm not sure if NoUpgrade or IgnorePkg option on /etc/pacman.conf help much in this case, instead I need to remove xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-libinput, xf86-input-void and xf86-input-joystick first before I can upgrade other packages as well.

@Marek do you have any idea on this?

VM's based on archlinux/blackarch not working for me too.

Any application started on Archlinux template has been blocked :

Arch Linux 4.4.38-11.pvops.qubes.X86_64 (hcv0)
archlinux login : [ 10.052051] audit_printk_skb: 39 callbacks suppressed
[ 10.052073] audit: type=1006 audit (1484564681.373:14) pid=624 uid=0 old-auid=4294967295 auid=0 old-ses=4294967295 ses=8 res=1

Archlinux template cannot be remove in Qubes manager, only manually.

By default fresh archlinux template install :

archlinux% pacman -Q xorg-server
xorg-server 1.18.4-1

When upgrade system :

:: qubes-vm-qui: installing xorg-server (1.19.1-1) break dependency 'xorg-server<1.19.0'

Trying remove xorg-server, then Suuy/Suy, then install xorg-server from AUR. It works until the first template shutdown start.
