Module / dependency error in arch linux

Questions and Answers
1

I've the following error when sending a tidal message, both from Atom and the terminal, and I'm not able to run any sound:

: error:
    Could not load module ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’
    It is a member of the package ‘tidal-1.7.8-EZHnqSS9b9YFalbdGJbsnz’
    which is unusable due to missing dependencies:
      bifunctors-5.5.11-IEHWnC0Ug5lAKtexC9mZmL hosc-0.19.1-4DgpvmPVwV6J4uo1cKp59N

I've installed SuperCollider from the arch repos (current version 3.12) and have SuperDirt v.1.7.2. Tidal install was done following the tutorial refered in this post, basically using the haskell-tidal package

Any fix or suggestions?

I include my system information for reference (`inxi -Fza` output).

Does pacman -Q haskell-hosc return anything?

Also, that post recommends using yay, so try installing with pacman -S haskell-tidal, because there might be a different package in the AUR.

In my very limited experience with Arch - make sure you have fully updated your system

pacman -Syu

I believe this is the way to do it ... (pacman confuses the bejeezes out of me)

Just checked after update and I do have it installed, it's haskell-hosc 0.19.1-20. Also checked for the other dependency, of which I have haskell-bifunctors 5.5.11-31 installed.

The haskell-tidal package is not in the AUR (at least not anymore). Maybe it moved recently into the community repo o was already there when the tutorial was made (yay -S also installs from main repos). I doubled checked using my AUR helper aura and directly into the AUR site: there are no more tidal cycles packages.

My system was up to date when I asked. I just run another system update which included some haskell packages, but the error is still there 'bout the same package and dependencies but different hash numbers (I don´t know if that's what they're called, but perhaps are given that they changed after update):

: error:
    Could not load module ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’
    It is a member of the package ‘tidal-1.7.8-KfgDqD6Qmio7EVQb0rtkkI’
    which is unusable due to missing dependencies:
      bifunctors-5.5.11-2P1PX4wGeRx3s8BPi7O2Ek hosc-0.19.1-BdcLRDGXqGBGSRxt9vx7KS

 Variable not in scope: d1 :: t2 -> t3


    • Variable not in scope: sound :: t1 -> t2
    • Perhaps you meant ‘round’ (imported from Prelude)


    Variable not in scope: (#) :: t3 -> t4 -> t

 Variable not in scope: room :: t0 -> t4

Also it might be worth mentioning that I have neovim's vim-tidal plugin and atom's tidalcycles package up to date.

Maybe the installation got botched. Have you tried a full uninstall and reinstall?

I had the same problem. I unistalled all packages that uses haskell dependencies and reinstalled them. U can see all haskell dependecies/packages with pacman -Q | grep haskell command. Try unistalling bifuctors with pacman -R haskell-bifuctors then it will throw an error for breaking dependecy. Go that rabbit hole and try to unistall it too. When u reach root package (e.g. pandoc) unistall it and its dependecies with pacman -Rs pandoc. I did this till pacman -Q | grep haskell comamnd was empty and then reinstalled root packages. And it fixed the problem.

Did just that and it worked. My "root" haskell package was haskell-tidal itself, so I reinstalled it with this command:
sudo pacman -Rns haskell-tidal && sudo pacman -Syu haskell-tidal
Guess this procedure should've been in my troubleshooting scheme to begin with.

Thank you!
