Unable to install from Manjaro AUR

Software Rapid Photo Downloader
5

It is available in Manjaro as well but that version is not compatible with Python 3.7.

Virtually all the packages in the Manjaro repos are the same as as the arch packages.

This is the package in the manjaro repos:

It just doesn’t work because it isn’t compatible with Python 3.7. I am sure the same is true in arch

6

Okay. Under arch I have no problems with python. But there seemed to be differences in the repository versions between arch & Manjaro.

7

Try to change your custom file naming scheme.

8

That’s all the output I get!

9

Is your system updated?

10

Tell me how, Manjaro is new to me!

11

There are different graphical updaters that depend on what edition you installed.

The kde & lxqt edition come with octopi and all the gtk-based editions come with “Add/Remove Software” which is pamac.

However, this command will work no matter what edition you are on.

Open up a terminal and type:

sudo pacman -Syyu
12

I’m on the XFCE flavour and have been using pamac, I just tried your suggestion but still get the old version displayed on pamac 0.4.11-5.

13

pamac in stable is currently version 7.1.

Did you get any errors when you ran pacman -Syyu

14

What do you get in the terminal with:
sudo pacman -Ssy rapid-photo-downloader
?

Photo and video downloader

16

None!

17

Try this:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 
sudo pacman -Syyu

My best guess is that you are connected to a mirror that is not up-to-date.

18

Sorry, I get the same result:
:: Synchronising package databases…
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
community/rapid-photo-downloader 0.4.11-5
Photo and video downloader

What was the output of this command:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5

That all looks fine.

The version of rapid-photo-downloader in stable is 0.4.11-5. The never version is in unstable but will make it’s way to stable soon. Either way, it will still have the issues with Python 3.7 which is fixed in 9.12.

Can you try installing rapid-photo-downloader-bzr from AUR again now that we have confirmed that your system is up to date.

22

could not satisfy dependencies:
unable to satisfy dependency ‘python-colour’ required by rapid-photo-downloader-bzr
unable to satisfy dependency ‘python-easygui’ required by rapid-photo-downloader-bzr
unable to satisfy dependency ‘python-gphoto2’ required by rapid-photo-downloader-bzr
unable to satisfy dependency ‘python-rawkit’ required by rapid-photo-downloader-bzr

23

I see the problem. Those packages are not in stable yet. They are all in testing. They must have been aur packages which were recently promoted to the repos.

There are a couple of ways to solve the issue.

You could temporarily switch to the testing branch in manjaro or you could just wait until they hit stable.

Hey @dalto, thank you for your time, much appreciated. I think I’ll wait, I thought I was going mad! (well madder actually) I have also learned a lot!
