No. The packages themselves weren't up to date, it wasn't just the mirror failing to fetch the new ones. Hence threads like this one (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=585808 http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=585808) with suggestions like "[t]ry to persuade the creators of the binaries to rebuild against libjpeg-7."
I didn't do an "upgrade". It was a first-time fresh install.
- eru 16y ago> "[t]ry to persuade the creators of the binaries to rebuild against libjpeg-7." Would a source-distribution like Gentoo get around those problems?
- w1ntermute 16y agoYes, as long as there were no compile-time errors because of changes from libjpeg6 to libjpeg7.
- crocowhile 16y agoI see. I remember when libjpeg-7 were introduced some people had problems either with async mirrors or they forgot to rebuild packages in AUR. Yours was a particularly unfortunate case, sorry it happened at your first experience with ARCH. I'd suggest you try again sooner or later. It's a nice distro, really.
- Legion 16y agoI have been tempted to try again, and I can accept the idea that I just hit things at the exact wrong time. At this point, the main roadblock to trying Arch again hasn't been that past experience, but rather a very high level of satisfaction with Ubuntu 10.04. Curiosity will get me to take a stab at Arch again, but I really like what Ubuntu is doing on the design/integration side of things.
