This worked for me. Good luck!

cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
sudo pacman -U pango-1.39.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I am really pissed this is still an issue at this late date!

#23

In Ubuntu 16.04, Insync fails to start. The fix is to run “sudo mv /usr/lib/insync/libfontconfig.so.1 /usr/lib/insync/libfontconfig.so.1.old” See here: http://www.webupd8.org/2016/05/limited-time-offer-to-get-insync-pro.html Thanks Andrew!

@Ralph_Shoemaker: Do you have other PPAs added to your system? I was trying to replicate the issue in an Ubuntu GNOME live CD but it worked in my case, even with all packages updated. I’ll try again by installing in a VM.

#25

shit, i don´t have the package pango-1.39.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz in cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg, so i cannot update. :frowning2:
I think if i deinstall insynch and install the new Version it will not working so i must wait.

#26

@hanny: I tested using Insync version 1.3.10 and it worked in my case. The symlink created in the last step of the PKGBUILD is also not needed anymore since a fix for this was added in 1.3.10. Please try it out.

#27

Hello, you mean i should deinstall the old version and try to install 1.3.10?

greatings hanny

#28

ÄÄÄÄÄH i think i am confused.

if i look in my Taskbar with the mouse i saw, the Version 1.3.10.36104 is installed,
but if i update yaourt he found the update, but he can´t update because
in German:
Fehler: Konnte den Vorgang nicht durchführen (In Konflikt stehende Dateien)
insync: /usr/lib/insync/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 existiert im Dateisystem
Fehler sind aufgetreten, keine Pakete wurden aktualisiert.

#29

:frowning: .

#31

I have found the older Version in an link from Aur so i can install the Older Version again. But the Update fails with the same Error.

I hope the New Beta Version is not so Buggy.

#32

@hanny: When building Insync 1.3.10 using yaourt you need to edit the PKGBUILD first and remove the line

ln -sf "/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/insync/libfontconfig.so.1"

because Insync 1.3.10 already bundles libfontconfig.so.1. The error you’re receiving is because the referenced line fails to execute.

#33

Hello, now i have a lot of stable updates, so i will test it later.
The Updates run without any errors, its an good Manjaro linux Team.

So i have tried it, delete the line, but the error is still there.

mh, very confused…

#34

someone in the Manjaro Forum postet i can update, overwrite the package with the option -f --force.

yaourt -U-force /tmp/yaourt-tmp-marika/insync-1.3.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
It works.

bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FcWeightFromOpenTypeDouble

rzei solution worked for me, creating symlink for fontconfig lib inside the aplication library folder!

It took me hours to find a solution. Thank you!
