ocaml upgrade results in errors

chrisd · 2024-12-08 20:55:22

Dear All,

I am getting this error when upgrading (pacman -Syu). It seems it wants to upgrade ocaml but
there is a package that depends on it and still wants to old version.

looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing ocaml (5.2.0-1.0) breaks dependency 'ocaml=4.14.0' required by ocaml-findlib

As such I am not really interested in the package ocaml-findlib except that it is a dependency
of the packages coq and coqide which I am interested in.

Is this something I can do something about or do some archlinux32 packages need to be
upgraded? If so, could someone be so kind to do the required upgrade?

Kind Regards,
Chris

Building findlib shows:
make[1]: ocamlopt: No such file or directory

This means the ocaml compiler per se is borked.

Lemme see what happens, if we build that one.

https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/tree/5.1#overview

So upstream dropped 32-bit support with Ocaml 5. Not much I can do here.

I have just one ocaml software I use on a daily basis: unison. So maybe going with the AUR ocaml4 is an option..
