Facing issu with Resolving Dependency on KaOS

Takumi

Hello KaOS Community,

My name is Takumi and I am software engineer who recently transitioned to using KaOS for my development work. I have been enjoying the experience but I am facing some dependency issues that I am hoping to get help with from more experienced users.

I am facing some problem when attempting to use Pacman to install codeblocks on my KaOS system. The installation encountered an error message as follows:
Error:
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'wxgtk2': it is not in the sync database
My System Information is here
KaOS Version: 2024.06
Kernel Version: 6.1.0
Pacman Version: 6.0.1

My questions is What is the best strategy to resolve these dependency issues & there is any recommended method for manually resolving dependencies when they are not present in the sync database?

Additionally I have checked this https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/18ffbnk/how_do_you_resolve_dependency_conflicts ccsp for solutions but have not found solution.

Thank you all of you in advance for your any insight & suggestion. 🙂

Best regards,
Takumi

Make sure to post the full output of the command, including the command itself. There is no wxgtk2 in KaOS, neither is there any package that needs it.

For completeness, it will be best to pastebin the output of the SysInfo tool:

#Takumi
Editing the package file and changing the .pkginfo file line 13 to only "depend = wxwidgets"
and it then installs and opens OK. Wether it works only you can say.

nezzie As in the original post, this most probably is not about creating/using a PKGBUILD, but it is about using pacman. That is why asking for SysInfo, since it is almost certain a user trying to install from unsupported places.

I prefer to use Discover and flathub, you can download literally any application with one click, open Discover go to Settings and click on Add repository then paste https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo that's it. Search for Codeblocks, install and use.
