Yay: Runtime error when trying to install a package

Affected Version

yay v6.727

Issue

When running yay -Syu yesterday, a conflict occured between xorg-server and xf86-video-intel-git, and following yay's suggestion, I deleted the latter.
This morning, I noticed that my external monitor would keep a black screen although i3 and xrandr seem to understand the monitor is there, so I tried reinstalling xf86-video-intel-git. That's when the error occured.

Steps to reproduce

$ yay -S xf86-video-intel-git

But indeed, it would be helpful if yay could output the same error message

==> Error: Could not find all required packages:
    X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION
    X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION>=23 X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION<=23

I think is readable enough.

401 should make is more like this though.

==> Error: Could not find all required packages:
    X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION=23 ( Tree:  xf86-video-intel-git -> )

Should be fixed in -git.

Morganamilo on 18 May 2018

@Morganamilo thanks for the quick follow-up

Installed yay-git, then retried. Getting another error now

➜ yay -S xf86-video-intel-git

==> Error: Could not find all required packages:
    X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION

➜ yay -V        
yay v6.727.r46.g6be6ffc

Looks like another problem with the version checking. Should be all fixed in #401. For now yay -Sd xf86-video-intel-git should hopefully work.

I reported it on the xf86-video-intel-git aur page, looks like this new issue is unrelated to yay. Thank you for the support, I'll close this issue for now.

AdrienLemaire on 18 May 2018

try with makepkg before saying it's unrelated with Yay.

I just tried this myself with Yay and I don't get the error.

X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION is provided by xorg so it shouldn't be missing. I don't know why Yay can't find it.

What does pacman -Si xorg-server and pacman -Qi xorg-server show.

Indeed, let me manually install it to verify

makepkg -si                                                                  [11:24:52]

Basically, xf86-video-intel-git requires a version of X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION that is older than the one currently provided by xorg-server. I'd have to downgrade xorg-server, so it really looks unrelated to yay :)

But indeed, it would be helpful if yay could output the same error message

Yep indeed looks unrelated to Yay. Thanks for testing.

Maybe it's just me but I find the "package -> " with nothing after the arrow a bit strange... a tree is a graph and in a graph you don't have edges with only 1 vertex either.

AladW on 18 May 2018

Well in my head it points, back to X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION=23. It's just that it comes first because it's the most important aspect. It's not final anyway so it could change.
