Why arch has so many updates? I know it's rolling release,

Why arch has so many updates?

I know it's rolling release, but in just a few days already have over 200 new updates.

How'd you know?

could not satisfy dependencies:
gtk2-patched-filechooser-icon-view: requires glib2-patched-thumbnailer
>>
>>54623778
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk2-patched-filechooser-icon-view/
Fixed mine with the comments below the dependencies.
>>
>>54623851
Sorry but how exactly did you fix it? I don't see anything in the comments that might help.
>>
>>54624114
The problem is that you are manually downloading the PKGBUILD and running makepkg -si, if you do it that way and the package you want to install depdends on other packages only available in the AUR the depdencies obviously can not be satisfied automatically -- you have to do it by hand.

If you want to avoid all this bullshit use an AUR helper, like yaourt or pacaur.
>>
Fucking hell, how do people put up with that? I get sick of Debian testing because the updates come too fast and voluminously.
>>
>>54623544
just use debian unstable with apt-listbugs

lets you update once every couple weeks without having your OS go boom

Actually I have been depending on yaourt for practically all my software installs. I try to reinstall gtk2-patched-filechooser-icon-view and glib2-patched-thumbnailer with yaourt -S but at the end of it all I just get

error: missing 'glib2>=2.46' dependency for 'pamac'

Which is annoying as heck because these installs take forever.

What's with the flood of riced desktops? I'm pretty sure there's nothing stopping you from doing the same shit on any Linux distribution. You're just being an attention whore.
