Adw-gtk-theme and adw-gtk3 are in conflict

Support System Updates

Hi there!

Unfortunately I have this problem when trying to update my system with Pacman -Syu

already tried removing old package “adw-gtk3”, but apparently it breaks my system after a while

adw-gtk-theme conflicts with and replaces adw-gtk3, so all you have to do is accept the replacement when it prompts.

It does not prompt me like you are saying.

sudo pacman -Syu                                               1 ✘

even tried:

It did. :point_up:

However, there should be no unresolvable package conflicts. It’s possible you may be in an unsupported, partial upgrade state. Make sure your mirrors are up to date and try again.

ok, I have to admit that I am using an “old” manjaro image to install my system…

Ok, I removed the “gnome-shell-extension-custom-accent-colors” pkg

now I have this:

:: Replace tepl with extra/libgedit-tepl? [Y/n]

looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

and then i tried removing it:

sudo pacman -Rns mutter                                        1 ✘

You shouldn’t have to manually remove anything. You’re making things worse.

Hoo boy.

That’s quite old. You would probably save more time by installing with a more recent one. However, if you’ve already installed it, then updating your mirrors should take care of things.

Also, please edit :pencil2: your previous reply if no one has responded yet instead of posting twice in a row. I’ve merged your replies.

already tried updating the mirrors with sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syu

I think i will download a new image and start from scratch.

Thanks!

Best idea I think. I also saw this:

… meaning this is indeed a rather old .ISO — means maintenance would be needed such as merging the .pacnew files.

This is a prompt.

In this instance, this seems like a good idea.

Recommended: Please search the forum for information about .pacsave and .pacnew files and system maintenance, generally.

As an infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; and in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.

To that end, some or all these links may be invaluable:

Last, but not least, the Update Announcements, which you should check frequently for important update related information. :eyes:

An issue may be directly related to a particular update; these announcements should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers.
