The problem is that libre/libudev-239.0-2.parabola1 exists, and that pcr/libeudev-3.2.5-3 exists. They shouldn't. The are replaced by libre/systemd-libudev-239.0-2.parabola3 and pcr/eudev-libudev-2.5-4 respectively. However, db-remove is broken, and for the moment I can't remove the old package names (since it only works by specifying pkgbase, and pkgname selection is broken).

warning: removing 'systemd' from target list because it conflicts with 'notsystemd'

BTW, notsystemd-234.1-1 is broken, it's linked against an old version of libcryptsetup.so. I'm going to try to get notsystemd 239 released this week. We'll see.

christian -

i think what lukeshu was trying to say was that it will not be possible to net-install an openrc system this week - it is still possible using the "complete" OpenRC/CLI ISO

You should be able to --ignore={libudev,libeudev}. It might be necessary to do that for more packages as well.

After fixing dbscripts and removing the offending packages, this works for me:

sudo pacstrap -i /mnt base-openrc --ignore=opensysusers

It is necessary to avoid installing opensysusers since it has a file-conflict with systemd, which is pulled in by mkinitcpio and syslog-ng.

there is a modified 'opensysusers' in [pcr-testing] that is needed to install desktop on base-openrc - please base any changes off that one - it works well - it is ready to move [pcr] if you want to do that

pcr-testing/opensysusers 0.3.2-5.parabola1

Alright, I've moved it in the repos:

[repo@winston ~]$ db-move pcr-testing pcr opensysusers
==> Moving packages from [pcr-testing] to [pcr]...
  -> opensysusers (x86_64)
    pkgname=opensysusers (0.3.2-5.parabola1)
  -> opensysusers (i686)
    pkgname=opensysusers (0.3.2-5.parabola1)
  -> opensysusers (armv7h)
    pkgname=opensysusers (0.3.2-5.parabola1)

and in git: https://git.parabola.nu/abslibre.git/commit/?id=41111562407b4951c47f6fb2f926dedf13f302ab

Should it be working normally now? I'm getting the following:

warning: option --root is deprecated; use --sysroot instead

warning: removing 'dbus' from target list because it conflicts with 'dbus-elogind'
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: openrc-init will be installed before its openrc dependency

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/mnt/usr/bin/systemd-sysusers exists in both 'systemd' and 'opensysusers'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgrade.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

Should I just type in the --ignore=opensysusers when installing?

Yes, add --ignore=opensysusers. That will cause it to specifically prompt you about whether you want to install it; say no when it does.

I've created an etherpad about all of the packages that depend on systemd and possibly cause problems for OpenRC users: https://pad.riseup.net/p/ParabolaSystemdDependants
