That question that it's asking you is the problem, because PackageKit doesn't have a generic method to bubble up questions that the user needs to respond to so that they can be presented in the UI. There are three ways this could be fixed: 1. the alpm PacMan PackageKit plugin selects a default choice of "Yes" for this action when tihs situation is encountered. 2. PackageKit adds an API to expose these sorts of questions to client apps, and then those client apps display a UI to the user. This is more technically correct, but would require changes to PackageKit, packaging plugins, and client apps. Either way there is sadly nothing we can do about this in Discover. See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163737 for the same issue in openSUSE Tumbleweed. |
Created attachment 139025 [details] screenshot SUMMARY Discover said "Dependency resolution failed..." (see the attached screenshot) when I tried to update my Arch Linux. pacman -Syu gave me this output in Konsole: :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date kde-unstable is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date multilib is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... :: Replace libcanberra-pulse with extra/libcanberra? [Y/n] I just pressed Enter and my system was successfully updated. EXPECTED RESULT Discover should be able to update Arch even if I a package was moved to another repo. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Platform: X11
