Bug #2928
Cannot install OpenRC base system with instructions from wiki.parabola.nu/Installation_Guide
0%
Description
The command given to install the base system with OpenRC at the following URL does not work:
https://wiki.parabola.nu/Installation_Guide#OpenRC
Here is the error message:
# pacstrap /mnt base libelogind warning: removing 'systemd-libs' from target list because it conflicts with 'libelogind' error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: your-initfreedom and systemd-nss-myhostname are in conflict
And indeed, pacstrap /mnt base libelogind --print shows that systemd-nss-* and systemd-libs are being selected. I had to use the command given on https://wiki.parabola.nu/OpenRC#Base_system, namely:
pacstrap /mnt base elogind libelogind udev-init-scripts your-initfreedom
The reason why
pacstrap /mnt base libelogind does not work is explained on https://wiki.parabola.nu/OpenRC#Base_system: Note that although libelogind is pulled by elogind many other packages will try to pull systemd-libs (which is provided by libelogind, but pacman tries to install systemd-libs when libelogind is not explicitly listed), that's why you must specify it even if elogind is installed along.

i can not reproduce that - it works as expected from a LiveISO -
make sure that [nonsystemd] is enabled in /etc/pacman.conf; then
run pacman -Syyuu on the host (anytime you modify pacman.conf)

I'm sure [nonsystemd] was enabled. Strange that you cannot reproduce it. I will try again when I have some time.
Anyhow, Installation_Guide and OpenRC pages should give the same command to install the base system.
