System Updates

[DeanOnDoberman]

Hi forum, I'm a brand new member to the community and a first time user of anything linux or Pine.....

I received my Pine64 phone yesterday, I've gone through the set-up process and have the phone up and running, connected to the internet, making and receiving calls.

I'm seeing a message saying there's an update available, Update 508 (1.1GiB), which appears to be a System upgrade. When I confirm the update it initiates the command and then  I receive the following message.

Update Issue

Dependency resolution failed
libcanberra=0.30+2+gc0620e4-3

I've got no idea what this means or how to navigate around it or if I even need to update my phone. I have a class10 256GiB memory card inserted straight out the packet.

Any assistance is most appreciated and I thank you in advance.

OMG, the libcanberra issue has plagued me since I first started using Fedora 5 back in the day, it's a moving target and I can't believe it's still around.

In this case, I believe it's because lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer and libcanberra-gstreamer are no longer in the official repositories.

Try removing them with ... sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer libcanberra-gstreamer

There may be more that I'm unaware of ... and I'm assuming you're using Manjaro, since you said it's a new phone.

Addendum: I found an article in the Manjaro forum that said to also remove the pulse ones, so it will be ... sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-libcanberra-pulse lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer libcanberra-pulse libcanberra-gstreamer

Thanks for your reply, I entered your script into the terminal and it resolved the libcanberra error. Upon rebooting the phone and retrying the update I'm now seeing the error

Dependency resolution failed libx264.so=161-64.

I had a look through the wiki page and found this on updating the phone

To update all packages under Arch-based OSes, the package manager pacman can be used:

$ sudo pacman -Syu

This script worked but the update is still present in my Discovery folder. The other isssue I'm now having is the screen rapidly keeps dimming and illuminating it self when not plugged into a pc.

Thanks again, happy dreaming
