ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
pbt001 opened this issue · 3 comments
Hi,
I'm testing your install script and there's a problem after downloading maximbaz.db. This seems to be caused by conflicting packages, i.e.between virtualbox-host-modules-arch and virtual box-host-dkms. There are 7 other package conflicts before but I'm not sure if that's a problem. Anyways, I get the following output:
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed rot prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
bash: Error on line 168: pacstrap -I /mnt maximbaz
How should this be solved and can you suggest a workaround for now to install Arch now?
Thanks!

Hey, seems like you used an uppercase -i flag to pacstrap instead of lowercase? This worked in my earlier tests, could you please confirm if you get a chance? 47cec96
Yes it should be a lowercase -i (just my typo). The install script does not prompt me to choose the package sources and ends up the errors as I stated above.
I'll close the ticket assuming all the questions have been answered, thanks again for the ping about issues with installation script, and as always feel free to comment here or in a new ticket if you have any other questions, notes or feedback 😉
