Hi,
I'm aware that libvpx isn't up to date on my machine. I need to keep an
outdated version of Virtualmachine and to run it, I need the outdated
version of libvpx.
$ pacman -Q libvpx ; pacman -Si libvpx | grep Ver
libvpx 1.3.0-1
Version : 1.4.0-2
Some packages mention that they need a dedicated version of libvpx.
$ pacman -Si ffmpeg ffmpeg-compat | grep On
Depends On : [snip] libvpx.so=2-64 [snip]
Depends On : [snip] libvpx.so=2-64 [snip]
^^^^^
Pointer to the needed version
So I'm aware about it and forced to downgrade those ffmpeg packages
too, that's what I did. Alternatively I also could use ABS and try to
build them against the outdated libvpx, what I try to do at the moment
with Firefox.
However, Firfox allowed me to install the wrong version and didn't
start.
$ pacman -Qi firefox | grep On
Depends On : [snip] libvpx [snip]
^^^^^^
No pointer to a dedicated version
So I'm aware that the Virtualmachine packages, the libvpx and 2 ffmpeg
packages for good reasons aren't up to date.
I didn't notice that Firefox needs the up to date version of libvpx
too. I wonder if there's a way to list all packages that depend on a
dedicated version of another package.
Regards,
Ralf
