error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing $PACKAGE ($VERSION) breaks dependency 'libXXX.so=$VERSION' required by $THIS_PACKAGE

You need to remove this package before updating and rebuild it after the update (re-installing the old package will not work) or maintain your local AUR packages repository; this is for preventing to keep a non-working package which will fail to run with the error: error while loading shared libraries: libXXX.so.XXX: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@katt thanks for the patch links!

@katt - can confirm this compiles when following manual steps, but having difficulty in patching the PKGBUILD to apply the patch to the CMakeLists.txt so that it installs via makepkg -si. Do we have to wait for upstream to fix this?

boost upgraded

Needs this patch to build with boost 1.89 (currently in testing): https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader/commit/7ba719a7a53d6025cd82f8b1c86e765285ed802b

I was thinking more along the lines of automatically forcing a rebuild when boost-libs gets upgraded

I can't help with that

instead of first having to manually uninstall lgogdownloader and then reinstall it.

For myself I have a local repository so when this is needed I build the packages in a clean chroot and move them to the repository (manually)

Is there a way to upgrade the boost-libs package without having to uninstall lgogdownloader first and then reinstalling it?

This is intentional because after the boost update the package would be broken with the error you can see pinned here (error while loading shared libraries: libXXX.so.XXX ...)

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing boost-libs (1.88.0-2) breaks dependency 'libboost_filesystem.so=1.87.0-64' required by lgogdownloader

  • every time you have error while loading shared libraries: libXXX.so.XXX: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory for build from source programs you have to rebuild it
