Re: [arch-general] Postgres failure after system upgrade

x to 8.3.x. This also entails saving a copy of pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf and merging any changes you have made into the new versions. It is normal for the PostgreSQL server to refuse to start if it detects that its database structure is outdated. Regards, Neil Darlow

Re: [arch-general] alternate dependencies?

olely on the package name. I think there will always be a case where an alternate dependency would better be specified by the package name. Regards, Neil Darlow

Re: [arch-general] What should be done with octave?

[arch-general] What should be done with octave?

octave-2.1.73 PKGBUILD will need fixing but should it be updated to 3.0.0 and, if so, should a legacy octave2 package be created? I'm looking for opinions before I file any bug report. Regards, Neil Darlow

Re: [arch-general] Scanner only works as root

both the *lp* and *scanner* groups to use the device. For administrative purposes, I believe, it is necessary to be in the *sys* group. Did you also check the sane configuration file to ensure the *hpaio* backend is enabled? I think it is in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf Regards, Neil Darlow

in 2.6.24. I think the required modules are actually being loaded but cryptsetup complains about missing modules. I don't see an updated cryptsetup in testing. Should there be one or am I way off-base here? Regards, Neil Darlow

Re: [arch-general] Who is confused, pacman or me?

ases. And the force option was used for this package, as you can see there : http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/games/etracer/PKGBUILD?cvsroot=AUR&only_with_tag=CURRENT No forced update was done. Just a warning that the local version was newer was issued. Regards, Neil Darlow

[arch-general] Who is confused, pacman or me?

Hi, I did a pacman -Syu this morning and it warned me that: local etracer-0.35-6 is newer than etracer-0.4-1 I'm not sure how that came about. Is this a pacman or pkgbuild problem? My system is i686. Regards, Neil Darlow

[arch-general] Qt3 path setting, is it right?

/etc/profile.d a sensible idea? Would it be better provided as part of the qt3 package and sourced into the PKGBUILD's environment directly? And, surely, placing QTDIR/bin at the end of PATH is not a good idea? Regards, Neil Darlow
