Hello,

I'm a new user and I've had this problem for a few days:

installing gst-plugins-base-libs (1.22.1-2) breaks dependency 
'gst-plugins-base-libs=1.22.0' required by gst-plugins-bad-libs

To upgrade I had to ignore these packages:

IgnorePkg?? = gst-plugins-base-libs gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good 
gstreamer

Will it be fixed in the future?

Thank you very much

it is generally not a good idea to ignore packages for that
reason (only to force other packages to upgrade) - the result is
a partial upgrade, which can cause other problems - the conflict
is desirable - that is pacman doing it's job, by protecting
other programs from breaking due to upgrading packages which are
not ready to be upgraded

the best thing to do in that situation, is to open a bug report
(if one does not exist already), or read the existing bug report
if one exists - the conflict will be resolved, usually within a
few days

Thank you for your valuable advice and for the time you have dedicated to
me.
I saw that today the problem has been solved.
Thank you again

please try to understand though - it is not a "problem", per se -
it is the solution to a problem; and is done intentionally

several packages have those strict version requirements added for
this reason, which will cause pacman to hold back conflicting
versions, routinely, until the version requirements are satisfied
- if those version requirements were not in place, that would
cause real problems, and a variety of bug reports, difficult to
identify - this is only a minor annoyance; but it makes the root
cause of the bug reports always obvious - most importantly
though, it ensures that the programs you have already installed
will continue working

Thanks for the explanation, now everything is clear to me.

Hi,

I am the admin of mirror.linux.pizza. I need to contact the 
person/persons responsible for maintaining the mirror-list for parabola.
With who can I talk to? Is IRC the only option?
