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?
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.
