Warning: dependency cycle detected

Issues & Assistance
1

Hello.

I’m new to Garuda Linux. I’m since 4 years on Linux with Debian and Ubuntu deveriate. Now I try Archlinux base Garuda Linux.

I’m has the warning that the packache libcamera-ipa will be installed before its libcamere dependency. To understand how the update prozessor work and to be aware of Erros I would want to install the libcamera dependency’s first. But I cannot find the right information, or I search wrong.

Could somebody have a hint or explain how it really works?

Just press enter. It works automatically.

As always, we are missing the garuda-inxi!

Hello SGS,

thanks for your answer. I thought, the <> is enough to garuda-inxi, because I have only the Question, if I can do better with te dependency cycle. I thought, I have to manuell install the dependency because of the waring.

What is the information about this warning then, if it works automatically? I want to understand this Linux :smiley:

Suppose there are two packages A and B.

A depends on B, A → B
and B depends on A, A ← B
this means that if you want A you need B and if you want B you need A. You can’t have one package without other. A <==> B
As you can see this is a cycle, the dependency cycle.

When pacman detected this cycle it smartly decided to install both the needed packages together and just informed you of the order in which it is going to install them. This order is inconsequential as long as both the packages are installed.

Google translate:

Angenommen, es gibt zwei Pakete A und B.

A hängt von B ab, A → B
und B hängt von A, A ← B ab
Das heißt, wenn Sie A wollen, brauchen Sie B, und wenn Sie B wollen, brauchen Sie A. Es gibt kein Paket ohne das andere. A <==> B
Wie Sie sehen, handelt es sich hierbei um einen Zyklus, den Abhängigkeitszyklus.

Als Pacman diesen Zyklus erkannte, entschied es sich klugerweise, beide benötigten Pakete zusammen zu installieren und teilte Ihnen lediglich die Reihenfolge mit, in der sie installiert werden sollen. Diese Reihenfolge spielt keine Rolle, solange beide Pakete installiert sind.

Bitte befolgen Sie außerdem die Vorlage und geben Sie in Zukunft garuda-inxi an

Thank you for your post. I understand this now :smiley:

The Google translate ist good to. But I can read english better then I write it :smiley:

For next time I use the example with garuda-inxi.

Thanks for your advice. Geetings from Germany.
