Hello everybody! My brother plays Insurgency Sandstorm a lot and I wanted us to be able to play together, so I got it and after some messing about got it working on my system. One of the things I read in forum posts to do to get it to work on an Arch based system is to install glibc-eac-bin which has some patches to make certain games work (I hope I understood that correctly).
Today when I try to update my system I get the following message and it will not allow me to continue:
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: glibc-2.40+r16+gaa533d58ff-1 and glibc-eac-bin-2.40-1 are in conflict. Remove glibc-eac-bin? [y/N]
I dont want to remove glibc, but i want the message to go away and to be able to proceed with my updates. Any suggestions on what I should do?
Thanks in advance
I’d say wait a few days to see if
glibc-eac-bin
gets updated. Could the name refer to easy anti cheat perhaps? Theglibc
is the official library that comes with Linux distros.I switched to flatpak steam because of this issue with a couple of games. Still annoyed that arch’s glibc maintainer removed the eac patch.
