WezTerm version

wezterm 20240203-110809-5046fc22

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) ncurses: /usr/share/terminfo/w/wezterm exists in filesystem (owned by wezterm-terminfo) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

To Reproduce

sudo pacman -Syu

Configuration

local wezterm = require('wezterm') local config = {} term = "wezterm" config.color_scheme = 'Blueberry Banana' config.window_background_opacity = 0.7 config.font = wezterm.font 'Comic Code' config.font_size = 12.0 config.enable_scroll_bar = true config.check_for_updates = true config.check_for_updates_interval_seconds = 86400 return config

Expected Behavior

Full system update with no errors.

Logs

17:39:21.988 ERROR config::config > Your configuration specifies color_scheme="Blueberry Banana" but that scheme was not found 17:39:21.993 INFO wezterm_gui > Spawned your command via the existing GUI instance.

Anything else?

If I delete wezterm and restart, I can update my system with pacman -Syu. Then if I try to reinstall wezterm I get: ➤ paru -S wezterm [sudo] password for si: resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...

Same issue. I believe this is related: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/wezterm/-/issues/2

[fioncat]

Same, is seems that ncurses provided terminfo file in the new release?

Now I have to add ncurses to pacman's IgnorePkg to avoid this.

The issue was fixed for the wezterm package in arch but there is still an issue in the aur git package which seems to be maintained by @wez

[Dacheng-Wang]

For anyone looking for a temporary solution: If you have wezterm installed already, go ahead and delete /usr/share/terminfo/w/wezterm (with sudo), and then update ncurses.

Have their been any updates to this? I've tried to install wezterm-git monthly since May and continue to be rejected by this AUR package issue. Would really love to use wezterm instead of foot or kitty but the non-git package refuses to load and of course somehow registers as a dependency of ncurses.

I'll accept a patch for this. I don't use arch. I do find it irritating that there doesn't seem be a way to handle PRs for this sort of package in arch, because right now I am the bottleneck and there is no good submission process as far as I'm aware.

Thanks for the update. I know the AUR is a rocky place for those who don't specifically use it, (and many of us who do). I'll dip my proverbial toes into trying to be a good arch user and see if I can bridge this gap for us in the coming days. Again thank you for the update. I SO enjoy using it on Nix, and this is the reason I want it so badly on arch (daily driver) too now that nvidia is largely behaving over here. Thanks for the ultra awesome term emulator! I'm not exaggerating when I say I've played with nearly ALL of them and when wezterm first lit up on my screen it was dazzling. I was literally entranced by how clean and fast it was.

Hi @wez,

For me it seems that removing the two lines that setup/create terminfo fixed installation (I did have to force a rebuild with --rebuild when using paru for this to work). I did not have wezterm installed before that so I did not have to manually remove any files, but this might not be the case for people with wezterm already installed.

Here is a patch (I'm not sure I did this correctly, I'm not used to creating patches this way):

I think this has now been resolved, please try and let me know

[winter-again]

New pkgbuild works for me.
