Dependency problem with ppp and rp-pppoe

[pudge]

While updating with pacman, this error occured.

looking for conflicting packages…
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing ppp (2.5.0-1) breaks dependency ‘ppp=2.4.9’ required by rp-pppoe

Optioning pacman to IgnorePkg = ppp allowed the rest of the packages to update.

It appears that rp-pppoe needs to be updated.

Thanks

I found that rp-pppoe-4.0-1 must be compiled manually. To do so, I did the following:

On a aarch64 computer such as RPi 4

1 get the x86_64 PKGBUILD from here
[url]https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/rp-pppoe][/url]
clicked on "Source Files" then Download

2 use archive manager to untar the downloaded package

3 edit the PKGBUILD and change
arch=('x86_64')
to
arch=("x86_64" "aarch64")

when trying to use makepkg to compile a new package, the following appears

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
==> ERROR: Failure while downloadingmake_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, ' ', 'https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/rp-pppoe/download/rp-pppoe-4.0.tar.gz', '', ' class="postlink"')
Aborting...

This is the reason the download fails

[quote]I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but a number of systems are automatically downloading RP-PPPoE and using up a LOT of my bandwidth. So please enter exactly this text in the input field to download rp-pppoe-4.0.tar.gz:
I am human with a capital I and everything else lower-case.

So rp-pppoe-4.0.tar.gz must be downloaded manually into the "rp-pppoe-main" folder, along with the GPG signature.
make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, '
', 'https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/rp-pppoe/download.php?file=rp-pppoe-4.0.tar.gz', '', ' class="postlink"')
make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, '
', 'https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/rp-pppoe/download.php?file=rp-pppoe-4.0.tar.gz.sig', '', ' class="postlink"')

finally, you will probably have to get dianne skoll's GPG key. If it fails because of the GPG
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --receive-keys KeyID
with KeyID being the listed key when running makepkg

Next use pacman -U to install rp-pppoe
