Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.

Hello! I've got the following: loading packages... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: backintime-gnome and backintime-gtk are in conflict ==> WARNING: Your packages are saved in /tmp/yaourt-tmp-hal (x86-64)

@Germar I vote for the second option. I have no problem to wait ~30sec. I need a stable and reliable Backup software so the first option is no real option. I don't want the program to crash during backup.

Germar commented on 2013-10-21 23:08 (UTC)

Nope, it's not fixed yet. I can make a patch for you guy's but I'm still waiting on comments which solution you want (take a look at my comments below): 1. turn back like it was done in the fix for 1.0.26 and risk a segfault or 2. catch the exception thrown by 'import keyring' and deactivate storing to keyring in that case. This will probably add a ~30sec timeout on every 'gksu backintime-gnome' The 3rd option to port BIT from gtk 2.x to Gtk+ 3.x is not an option as it would take several weeks or months. So please let me know what you want.

It should not. Germar is one of the upstream devs. Perhaps he can answer your question.

orschiro commented on 2013-10-21 21:17 (UTC)

@graysky Thanks for your effort! I was able to install -any and -gtk. Yet 1.0.28-4 does not fix the gksu problem yet, correct?

graysky commented on 2013-10-21 20:41 (UTC)

Bump to v1.0.28-4 HOW TO INSTALL: 1) For this version bump you do actually have to uninstall the previous version of the package. 2) Install the common package at the same at as you optionally install a GUI like this: sudo pacman -U backintime-gtk-1.0.28-4-any.pkg.tar.xz backintime-1.0.28-4-any.pkg.tar.xz Changes to PKGBUILD: * name change /qt4/kde4/ * broke out the 'backintime' package which is common to all GUIs * added openssh as a dep per Germar's comment * added sshfs and encfs as deps per Germar's comment (note that 'cron' included anacron, at least it does with cronie the Arch default) * builds backintime-notify now (long standing gap) * changed backintime-kde4 deps per Germar's comments

Germar commented on 2013-10-21 20:03 (UTC)

@graysky I had a look on PKGBUILD and would like to add some notes: - openssh should be in depends array as it contain ssh-agent which is started with every BIT session because of a bug in ssh-add - optdepends should have sshfs, encfs and maybe anacron if that isn't installed by default on Arch. - you don't build backintime-notify at all (notify folder in tarball). This is a BIT-plugin for notifying user about errors. - backintime-qt4 (or backintime-kde4) doesn't need python2-gnomekeyring. python2-secretstorage or python-keyring-kwallet (don't know which package this is in Arch) will do the job on KDE - backintime-qt4 (or backintime-kde4) should have 'kompare' at least in optdepends Kind regards, Germar

@germar - I will change the qt4 suffix to kde4. @petara - I will break out a common package from the gutless, gnome, and kde4 variants as well as fix the kde4/gtk/gnome simultaneous deps. I won't be able to do it until later today though.
